Our gay travel guide to Malaysia has everything the LGBTQ traveler needs to know including where to stay, where to play, what to do, and important practical safety tips. Thanks to its thorough mix of Malay, Indian, Chinese, and European cultures, the country is a melting pot of all lifestyles. The only downside?

With recent progress in legislation, some governments are in an effort to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender LGBT citizens. Unfortunately, 80 countries around the world still maintain laws that make homosexuality illegal. In countries such as Iran, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen, as well as parts of Nigeria and Somalia, homosexual acts are punishable by death. Criminalisation of homosexuality remains strong in many African countries where gay people face persecution and violence from police, employers, hospitals and community organisations.

This is our gay travel guide to Kota Kinabalu, a beautiful city in Malaysia's Sabah state on the island of Borneo. Kool-krazy-kat-Kota-Kinabalu , the capital and gateway of Malaysia's Sabah region on Borneo island. This is the city where treks up to Borneo's highest mountain Mount Kinabalu begin, the tropical waters of the Gaya islands are right on your doorstep, lots of different magnificent experiences can be found, and, the coolest nickname ever for a city: KK! We visited KK during our trip around Malaysia and loved it.
