Taylor Swift's lover kisses his male colleague on stage, The 1975 is banned from performing in Malaysia

Recently, The 1975 - a famous British band was suddenly banned from performing in Malaysia. It is known that the reason comes from the male singer Matty Healy expressing his support for the LGBTQIA community and kissing his co-star right on stage.

Specifically, on July 21, The 1975 - a famous British pop rock band, was invited to perform at the Good Vibes Festival event in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia. However, instead of enjoying the music, the audience witnessed a shocking scene.

Matty Healy attracted attention with a long speech, he expressed support for the LGBTQIA community and criticized the anti-freedom policy of sexual orientation in some Asian countries.

After the speech, The 1975 continued to perform, to the 7th performance - I Can't Be More In Love . The male singer born in 1989 later apologized to fans and announced his intention to cancel the concert to protect his beliefs.

After sharing words, Taylor Swift 's rumored lover walked over to bassist Ross MacDonald and placed a long kiss on his colleague's lips. "Okay, we have to go. We've just been banned from Kuala Lumpur, see you later," Healy greeted the audience before walking off the stage.

Good Vibes Festival later announced that the Malaysian Ministry of Communications and Digital had canceled the three-day event due to controversial behavior and comments from Healy.

"We sincerely apologize to all of our ticket holders, suppliers, sponsors and partners. We are aware of the time, energy and effort you put into the festival and appreciate your enthusiastic support," the event representative added.

Representatives of The 1975 and Healy did not respond to the LH press. However, the band's leader shared the Good Vibes Festival announcement on his personal page story on July 22, along with a joke: "Okay, why don't you try and kiss Ross deeply for 20 years. It's not easy on the surface."

The above incident received mixed opinions - many praised the male singer for speaking out in support of LGBTQIA. However, most of the comments frankly condemned Matty Healy - they thought that he was trying to attract attention, expressing his personal views defiantly. Above all, Matty's actions may harm the LGBTQ community in Malaysia, not necessarily support it.

Many views also believe that Matty Healy did not respect his own country to perform. The male artist's aggressive statements and actions directly affect the program and other artists with the line-up.

Following the incident, Communications Minister Fahmi said Malaysia is committed to supporting the development of creative industries and freedom of expression. "However, never touch sensitive issues of the community, especially those that are contrary to the traditions and values of the local culture," he said.

The Malaysian government in March introduced stricter guidelines, including dress code and manners, for foreigners entering Malaysia, citing the need to protect sensitive things.

The Malaysian government also announced that it will uphold the principles of Islam and will not recognize LGBT rights. In May, Malaysian authorities confiscated watches manufactured by Swiss company Swatch from the "Pride Collection" in support of gay people.

It is known that this is not the first time The 1975 has been banned from performing in a country, previously in 2019 in Dubai , Matty Healy also gave a similar speech and then kissed a male fan on the show.

"Thank you Dubai, you are great. I think we are not allowed to go back because of my behavior, but remember I love you and I would do nothing else if given the chance again," the male singer wrote on his personal page, the post has now been deleted.

Although comfortable hugging and kissing men, Healy does not identify herself as gay. In Attitude magazine in December 2019, the singer Somebody Else admitted that she is often attracted to beautiful men and is not afraid to kiss them but will stop if she goes further because she does not want to deceive them.
