Constitutional Views On LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Rights In Indonesia
Abstract
In the present era, influenced by globalization, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is increasingly spreading worldwide. Unlike in the past when they were more discreet, they are now bolder and more vocal in expressing their existence. The most commonly cited reason is the assertion of human rights, with the argument that, based on human rights principles, they seek recognition and protection by the state in accordance with the constitution. This research aims to examine whether the rights of the LGBT community are protected by the constitution and what rights are specifically safeguarded. The results of this legal writing research indicate that the rights of the LGBT community as citizens are accommodated in Indonesian legislation, as evidenced by the principles of Pancasila, the Constitution, and other legal regulations. Similar to other citizens, the rights of the LGBT community encompass freedom, but they are also subject to obligations to comply with the legal system in Indonesia.
