Indonesian officials say this may have violated several immigration laws, including 'intentionally disseminat[ing] unsettling information' about Bali.

Kristen's compliments about Bali being 'queer friendly' have not only been met with discomfort from Indonesian officials, but also queer people living in Bali. While same-sex marriage is not illegal in most of Indonesia, the country's LGBTQIA+ community has faced pressure in recent years, and their rights are limited.

One proposed bill in the country's national assembly would in fact declare queer people as a 'threat' to the nuclear family.
