That's the bigots line these days.
Meanwhile Heartstoppers is an international hit.
It's not nearly as black and white as you assert.
Yes the anti gay bigots are having a season though.
Not tiny at all the tourism segment.

A number of countries including Thailand appreciate how lucrative gay tourism is.
Malaysia obviously isn't such a country.
Read the article about all the anti gay laws there.
The Swatch thing is obviously especially ridiculous but it shows where they are coming from and yes it is similar to Russia.
Actually of course it's much worse than Russia as gay sex itself is criminalized in Malaysia.
Almost all the posts here have been homophobic.
On the gay forum here.
It seems this gay forum is not viable here.
Any topic here just attracts bigoted posts.
Thus, I am requesting this topic be closed.
Who said I'm expecting?
I know there are horribly homophobic countries in the world just as there are obviously horribly homophobic expats in Thailand.
The news here is that Malaysia is getting worse for LGBTQ people. Just as Russia and the USA have gotten worse.
