PERSEPSI FRATER TERHADAP FENOMENA LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXSUAL, TRANSGENDER DI SEMINARI HATI KUDUS PINELENG

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the Brothers' views on LGBT using a combined quantitative and qualitative approach involving 40 subjects from among the Brothers at Pineleng Sacred Heart Seminary. The results showed that Brothers tend to feel uncomfortable or uneasy when dealing with LGBT individuals, especially in relation to their perceived deviant behavior. Brothers consider LGBT behavior as something very unethical. Thus, it can be concluded from the results of this study that the presence of LGBT in the seminary environment is considered as something that damages the reputation of the seminary as a faith- based institution. LGBT behavior is considered inappropriate and violates religious teachings that emphasize the prohibition against same-sex relationships.
