<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:"-webkit-standard",serif;color:black">The past two years have seen the term LGBT shift from an unknown acronym to household term in Indonesia, overwhelmingly framed in negative terms. Many commentators have labelled these
transformations as both unprecedented and a break with a long tradition of tolerance for gender and sexual diversity. While sympathetic to these concerns, queer visibility in Indonesia has long been met with a broad range of responses ranging from outright
hostility, to begrudging tolerance, to open celebration. This paper, based on historical and ethnographic research undertaken in 2014-2015 in the cities of Jakarta and Yogyakarta, reflects on the events related to LGBT in Indonesia over past two years within
a history of Indonesian national modernity. Starting from the late 1960s, I sketch out a chronology that demonstrates how transgender femininity developed a profile as a form of visibility that was at once popularly enjoyed and officially denigrated. I then
present how a historical reading of queer visibility in contemporary Indonesia calls for attention to three areas: 1) the media and mediation; 2) the relationship between private and public; 3) the currents and effects of globalised knowledge. In conclusion,
I reflect on how historical and/or cross-cultural perspectives continues to offer a vital vantage point for scholars of gender and sexuality studies; a way to resist universalising notions of rights as a one-way movement towards modernity.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
