I understand Malaysia, but why cancel the Taiwanese show? Is it just because the tour dates won't fit or is that supposed to be a political move as well?

    Taiwan has legalized gay marriage and VERY open LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in its cities.

    The cancelation makes no fucking sense.

    That's what I mean.

    That's why I was wondering if maybe those are the only places in Asia they were touring and since they canceled the Malaysia they didn't want to... But they're already there.

    Yeah it's weird.

    My only guess is that they would hope Taiwan would pressure the other countries to shape up. But that makes no sense based on the culture/religion of Malaysia and Indonesia vs Taiwan so idk
