Malaysian news site Malaysiakini published guidelines for spotting gay and lesbian symptoms, which the site says come from the countrys Education Ministry and were presented during a seminar in Penang.
For boys, the signs listed include wearing V-necks or sleeveless clothing or carrying big handbags, similar to those used by women, when hanging out.
Symptoms of lesbianism for girls included having no affection for men.
The federal government said in March that it is working to curb the problem of homosexuality, Reuters reported.
Last year, the Malaysian government also set up camps for effeminate boys to learn masculine behavior.
