A recruitment ad from the Indonesian government seeking a new Creative Youth Ambassador has plainly stated that it does not want anybody from the LGBTQ community to apply.

The ad, from the Gerakan Nasional Permuda Kreatif (National Creative Youth Movement), is seeking someone between the ages of 20 and 27 to apply.

The requirement, however, carries some disturbing phrasing:

Sehat jasmani dan rohani, tidak terlibat pergaulan bebas dan penyinpangan perilaku seksual termasuk LGBT, yang dijelaskan melalui surat keterangan dokter.

That translates to: "We require someone physically and mentally healthy, not involved in promiscuity and sexually deviant behaviour, including LGBT, which should be proven through a doctor's certificate."

The statement has drawn brickbats and mockery in online forums, with many questioning just how a doctor might be able to certify someone as straight.

The anti-LGBTQ sentiment is just the latest in a year of escalated bashing in the nation of 260 million people.

In January, Indonesia's minister of higher education said he wanted to ban LGBTQ student organisations from college campuses. In the months ensuing, a tirade of anti-LGBTQ hostility started collecting from religious groups and secular organisations in the country.

The government asked popular chat messenger, Line, to remove stickers featuring same-sex couples, while Tumblr was briefly banned for "pornographic content."

Human Rights Watch has called the events an "unprecedented attack" on Indonesia's LGBTQ community. [pdf]
