The 1975 members argued against being held liable for damages caused by the closure of a music festival in Malaysia after frontman Matty Healy criticized the country's LGBTQ+ laws and kissed a bandmate on stage. A lawyer contended that the claims against the band were illegitimate, as the contract was with the band's company. Malaysian laws punish homosexuality harshly, leading to the band's actions being seen as a violation of local statutes rather than personal misconduct. The festival organizers are seeking substantial damages, but the legal representation argues the claims are incoherent.
I do not see the point of inviting The 1975 to a country, then telling us who we can have sex with.
The allegations of breaches of a duty of care are not breaches of a duty of care at all; they are breaches of Malaysian statutes and guidelines.
