Interest in queer community by Indonesian mass media is not something new. Starting with curiosity in trans women throughout the 60s & 70s and further fueled by the sensasionalisation of male homosexuality during the HIV pandemic, multiple Indonesian newspapers and periodicals ran reportage and articles about queer communities. The tone of these coverages ranged from affirming to outright queerphobic.
