The United Nations human rights system has recognized rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex individuals (LGBTI), with key decisions in 2011 and 2016. To what extent are the rights of these groupings respected in Southeast Asia? The visibility of LGBTI is low in Southeast Asia and government attitudes vary. Criminal laws, both secular and Sharia, in some jurisdictions, have prohibitions, but active enforcement is rare. Discrimination in employment is prohibited by law in Thailand and in local laws in the Philippines. Change of legal sex for transgender individuals is sometimes possible. Legal recognition of same-sex relationships has been proposed in Thailand and the Philippines, but not yet enacted. Marriage has been opened to same-sex couples in neighboring Taiwan. Laws on adoption and surrogacy generally exclude same-sex couples. So-called normalizing surgery on intersex babies needs to be deferred to the childs maturity, to protect their health and rights.

In summary, in Southeast Asia, Sharia criminal laws prohibiting sexual acts outside of legal marriage, as well as cross-dressing, are in place in Brunei, Aceh province in Indonesia, and at the individual state level within Malaysia.Caning, incarceration and fines can be imposed as punishments.The most common right recognized in human rights decisions that have ruled against anti-homosexual criminal laws has been the right of personal privacy.In most places in Southeast Asia there has been some degree of progress.

Berdasarkan paper, terdapat beberapa arah penelitian lanjutan yang menjanjikan. Pertama, penelitian dapat dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi dampak dari hukum Sharia terhadap hak-hak individu LGBTQ di Indonesia dan Malaysia, dengan fokus pada bagaimana hukum ini diimplementasikan dan dampaknya terhadap kehidupan sehari-hari komunitas LGBTQ . Kedua, perlu dilakukan studi komparatif tentang efektivitas berbagai pendekatan legislatif dalam melindungi hak-hak LGBTQ , seperti undang-undang anti-diskriminasi dan pengakuan pernikahan sesama jenis, di berbagai negara di Asia Tenggara. Ketiga, penelitian kuantitatif dapat dilakukan untuk mengukur tingkat penerimaan sosial terhadap individu LGBTQ di berbagai negara di Asia Tenggara, serta mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi penerimaan tersebut.
