How Prabowo Designates Spread of LGBTQ Culture as ‘Nonmilitary Threat’

Prabowo Classifies LGBTQ Culture Dissemination as Nonmilitary National Threat

How Prabowo Designates Spread of LGBTQ – On October 24, 2025, President Prabowo Subianto signed Presidential Regulation No. 111, which incorporates the spread of LGBTQ culture into the framework of nonmilitary threats under the 2025–2029 General Policy for National Defense. This classification appears in the regulation’s appendix, within the “Threat Analysis” section of the “Factors Affecting the General Policy on National Defense” chapter.

Threat Categories and Definitions

The regulation distinguishes three threat types: military, nonmilitary, and hybrid. Nonmilitary threats, as defined, include efforts or actions that jeopardize state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national security. These can manifest through ideological, political, economic, social, technological, legislative, or legislative channels.

“Nonmilitary threats encompass activities that undermine state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national safety through unarmed means,” the document states.

LGBTQ Culture in the Threat Framework

Among the nonmilitary threats listed, the dissemination of LGBTQ culture is explicitly mentioned. It joins other categories such as the spread of atheism, separatism, terrorism, and radical ideologies, alongside economic crises, cyber-attacks, and natural resource theft. The regulation also includes online gambling, illegal lending, and drug abuse as contributing factors.

Legal Context and Policy Scope

Presidential Regulation No. 111/2025 was created as an implementing rule for Article 13 paragraph (2) of Law No. 3 of 2002 on state defense. According to Article 2 paragraph (1), the 2025–2029 General Policy for National Defense acts as a guide for managing the National Defense System. This policy further informs the planning, execution, and oversight of national defense initiatives.

Structure and Key Elements

Article 3 paragraph (1) outlines the components of the general state defense policy, including general provisions, threat factors, policy objectives, and risk statements. The 2025–2029 policy, referenced in paragraph (3), is detailed in the appendix as an essential part of the regulation.
