Today, Gus (pronounced goose), said that Bali is more tolerant of gays etc than other islands in Indonesia. He said that Hinduism here recognizes three gender categories: male, female, and in between. It's not mentioned in brochures or ads but Bali he said is far more tolerant than any other island here. Women can wear bikinis at the beach. But it's best not to brag about the openness here because there are elements here that pressure the government to clamp down on customs different from theirs.
