In Malaysia, homosexuality is illegal and punishable by up to 20 years in prison. There are also laws declaring it illegal to ridicule and challenge Malaysian laws. The legal threat comes after the July performance of The 1975 at the Good Vibes Festival in which lead singer Matty Healy spoke out regarding the country's laws against homosexuality. Because of Healy’s act of protest, the next two days of the festival were canceled. And now, the festival’s organizer, Future Sound Asia, is ordering The 1975 to pay over 12.3 million Malaysian Ringgit (over $2.6 million) in damages. The band has one week to pay damages before legal action will be taken. A group of Malaysian musicians and vendors is also prepping a class action lawsuit against the band. #Queer Up Entertainment
