LGBT : in Campus (Social Control, through the ability intellectual, social sensitivity and critical attitude, the student is expected capable play a role in social control through criticism, suggestions and solutions in various problems social)

in writing •  8 years ago 

Phenomenon or Lesbian LGBT, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender already getting crowded. It was triggered by
many phenomena of the news and activities of LGBT members themselves. Then he lifted LGBT discourse or figure in the popular media that the public is increasingly familiar. It helped to enliven the discussion of LGBT
recently.

In the disciplines of anthropology itself there are many works related about gender and sexuality. One of the most prominent works of Gay, especially in my country, is Tom Boellstorff with Gay Archipelago. Studies on sexuality that is an important means to introduce three important terminology regarding human sexuality, namely; gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual behavior.

But apparently, the study academic was less able to penetrate into the wider community in order to give them understanding of gender issues or three such terminology. To the general public do not understand about understanding what the lesbian, gay,bisexual and transgender. So they often confounds term
the understanding is wrong. What happens then, the public at large.

Even students as academics still bore the stigma bad view against members of the LGBT community.
LGBT knows no boundaries of age, gender, social status or work even religion. LGBT issues, especially gay. The reason at that time no other because they want to know what the dynamics of LGBT issues in particular
Gay directly. The issue was selected after observing persistence action stigmatizing LGBT circles. In this training opportunity I met specifically with the gay community. an opportunity which is quite surprising. For what is imagined about gay through stories and public opinion is very different. Their outward appearance no
different with me. They do not seductive as in soap operas or comedy program. Nor are wearing clothes with eye-catching color.

Very different from the picture of a gay who often appeared on the screen. This community was named as Gay Students Association. Furthermore, note-based university where members gain knowledge. Imagine being a student to college life is demanding of time, mind and strength. Beyond that, it is still faced with the question of status or
his gay identity. Then came curiosity, how the lives of the this student?

Based on the similarity of student status, once the memory of homosexual issues surrounding emerging writers. Sometimes when some comrades talk about it often with cynical opinion about the existence they. And not infrequently appear ribbing directed at LGBT members especially gay. Things like this, personal opinion would dislike of gays or LGBT in general, then rolled into public opinion childbirth view gay was disturbing and harmful, especially if he is in campus environment. Assuming the main gay can be transmitted, as well as with
intentionally transmit. That is, there is a public misperception of the issue LGBT.

There is still a bad view of society must make gay students bit mlipir alias or pulled away. They then are not free
choose a friend, also not free expression as part of society campus. As a result of this gay students should be careful if you want to express. Even in the story to make friends, not just anyone can be a good place to vent. Then the best solution was sought by them, that they should seek and get fellow gay campus.

Began the search for fellow gay in a campus environment they. Looking for fellow gay done in various ways, generally using social networking internet or through colleagues there. Not by visiting someone at random and then hold up the question, not similarly origin turn someone into a gay. The existence of a fellow gay based quickness comrade support kinship of suffering, so that there are friends to share at the same place to complain. After getting his fellow gay, meet up, ensued. Individuals who initially did not know each other meet new friends, even it is possible to get a lover from this meeting. On the basis of the emerging discourse makes specific gatherings
they are within the scope of the university. Up comes the one Association Gay Student. They first appeared in the largest public university in 2011. Followed a year later appeared in the university another country.

They has been established and has members. Its members also spread various faculties and departments. So where do they meet? To regulate meeting, let alone make a meeting on campus, they become challenge for them. Returning again to the issue of stigma. They hesitated and maybe a little afraid to open immediately. Alternative means considered both is through social media alias Internet.

They have a group special members on the Facebook site that not everyone is easy to find. Pun maximum effort, Facebook is not always accommodate the needs communication together. Not all members feel able to quickly access they related information. Another alternative is needed in order to get up faster. Chat applications or digital chatter named Line Mesengger then selected as a space of interaction and communication. The virtual world is considered able to bring a little sense for them to communicate. They now comes with a vague shape, slick hidden in social networks, unlimited meetings and away from crowded places campus. this vagueness which makes them flower deflated within the establishment itself, members uncertain until it was very difficult to show identity amid stigma community college.

Additionally, a position as a student provides its own pressure. Students have a fairly high social status in society. Because student identity inherent expected to be. Iron Stock, is defined as the stock the next generation a strong, moral and berintelektual. That's why students must explore the science much more also have social sensitivity. Guardian of Values, students as guardians of community values ​​such as honesty, integrity, fairness,
empathy, certainly with his scientific ideas. Agent of Change, students as a motor for society to move towards a better through the application of knowledge, ideas and knowledge. Moral Force, is expected to the level of intellectual and scientific thinking and knowledge comparable to the moral well. In order to serve
examples of kindness for others. Finally, Social Control, through the ability intellectual, social sensitivity and critical attitude, the student is expected capable play a role in social control through criticism, suggestions and solutions in various problems social.

The study of gender, sexuality and LGBT is not something "Rare" in the science of Anthropology. Has many experts anthropology conduct research on LGBT or Gay specifically. Then it can be I say only imitators trace their writing. However, within the scope Cultural Anthropology student itself, little is offensive gay issues. This study re-evaluate the position members of the LGBT community in this pattern of gay relationships in the community and
countries, related to legislation unfavorable position they are in society. The study carried out by attention back any legislation and state policy if it were detrimental to gay groups. Although related to LGBT issues yet This article focuses on transgender issues, among others, the scarcity of access formal sector employment, the right to equality before the law and the state.

Sexual orientation, which refers to emotional and sexual attraction to the same sex is good for males
and women. Sexual orientation is included in the discussion of the sexuality, sexuality where it covers the whole personality, and attitude or social character associated with sexual behavior and sexual orientation while gay is the term given to male homosexuals. The term is given as a distinction homosexual phenomenon for men and
female homosexuals. Giving the term is also related to participation gender identity and sexual biology. Gender identity in the form of awareness the concept of gender itself then realized with the way he treated himself
own . Awareness of biological sexual identity is based on the different types of sex, penis showed men and women show vagina. While the impact on the gender identity gender expression. gender expression is a long experience that a person experiences through the mind and body, then proceed to apply the way, dressing and interaction

Incomprehension of society will the division in terms of gender and sexuality gave birth to violence both verbal and physical. Violence not only be received by members of the LGBT community, but can also override
people who care about these issues. Occurred violence in the form of destruction and expulsion by a number of organizations

Suddenly discussion not even walk had to be canceled. Similar discussions at the university often canceled by the rector at the time for reasons safety , offensive actions by a number of organizations and the prohibition of discussion by the rector at that time show understanding still less will gender and sexuality community. So little reference to LGBT issues capable cause excessive reaction. Not because people recreate the concept of good and bad in a pattern of behavior by holding on values religion. In this case, the public thinks is gay and gay
a sin. This kind of incident is not the first, to become a workshop elevate LGBT issues in 2000 got attacks from religious groups who said the seminar meeting as an immoral acts. Because the emergence of repressive actions understandable as a form of public understanding has long received a heterosexual as a natural and normal truth.

Supported also by country linking publicly recognized religion with acceptance national. Also the family policy
plans which formerly was widespread, further confirming that the nation This is composed of heterosexual nuclear family. This makes the homosexual is not a part of identity national.

As a result of course beyond these forms considered as a disease, resulting in people accustomed to perpetuate
attitudes and values ​​of homophobia. Strong understanding of and attitude homophobia is also formed as the notion of culture. Knowingly or no discriminatory treatment in the community will lead to suffering gay and make it increasingly alienated or marginalized.

A series of stigma, discrimination, rejection and even aggression by certain elements related to the LGBT movement increasingly enlarge pressure faced by members of the community itself. This situation resulted discomfort in society. Not only they were open members of the community movement, but also the gay men who are still in the
closet would be more afraid if to be blunt.

But why members LGBT community still refuse such treatment? The following description of nature according to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs: water, food, clothing, sex, and other biological ; security, a sense of threat and fear-free; society, groups as members of society; and personal tribute

In The Closet is a popular term referring to gay men who are still hiding from people because of their sexual orientation. In The Closet, or "in the closet" mean gay is hidden, felt the fear, as well as seeking refuge from the world outer rejected.

Discrimination is often accompanied by acts of violence, labeling with the argument of religion, making them have no sense of security in social life. Though security is the most basic rights for humans when viewed in the table above Maslow. That is, a key issue for the position gay existence as a member of society is the recognition and a sense of security in society.

As expressed by Weeks in Sex, Politics and Society, all variations of sexual behavior that is, homosexuality
has the most obvious social pressures, social notes also the most obvious. This matter, as well as many of Haverlock Ellis sexologist Alfred Kinsey to have been recorded, from the shape of the most closed in the heterosexual norm in culture us, and partly because it is often the target of social dominance the continuity

The above description has shown how gay positions as part marginalized communities. Marginalized by choice orientation Their sexual. Related to the issue of stigma and discrimination, and there has been no official recognition of their journey complicate the wider community in voicing identity. Within the scope of the campus experience is repeated back, but gay students has now set up as a container group gathered with various activities.

Then came the question; how the way of realizing the existence of their gay identity on campus?
The big question will be answered with the question anyway, namely: Why do the members want to join gay group? What are the forms of interaction and communication in group? What are the benefits of joining group?

Discussion on gender and sexuality studies increasingly rampant among academics and wider community. This means that the public's attention on the issue of gender and sexuality is on the rise. This opens up the opportunity for anyone to equally discuss and discuss issues related to gender and sexuality more widely.

Homosexuality is a sexual attraction to emotional well Same-sex (for both men and women) where interest
it is not always realized in penile-anal intercourse. Penile-anal sexual relationship was not exclusive to gay couples, this in the form of one of the many variations of sexual behavior which can also be found on
among heteroseksual, This means that as long as someone has interesting against same-sex emotional and he had the attitude or behavior of homosexuals

While heterosexuals are the opposite of homosesksual, or sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Men in women and also otherwise. While bisexual present among homosexual and heterosexual, then the position of bisexuals when drawn would be like Heterosexual -hiseksual - homosexual.

Bisexual be a separate discourse for the LGBT due to its position in the middle. No However heterosexual nor homosexual completely. This is due to the nature of interest in the two sexes are equally strong on the bisexuals.

As described above, gay is a term that refers to homosexual men, while lesbian for gay women. administration
This term refers to the issue of gender identity and sexual orientation include emotional, thought patterns and behaviors of male or female homosexuals. In development terms are defined gay festive, jovial, bright and full of excitement in the dictionary Merriam Webster11, Festive attitude, cheerful, bright and gay inherent interpreted also as a form of courage them to bring themselves in the community, and position themselves in the trend popular culture.

Unfortunately the attitude carefree, festive, bright and openness mostly gay build a false perception in society, which is equated with transvestites. Leveling gay with transvestites because people can not accept the existence of man, which sometimes acting feminine because it is not considered meet the standard masculine men in culture
heterosexual patriarchy.

Therefore they are outside Heterosexual people's habits, it gives birth to stigma and discrimination. Human Rights Law record definition discrimination, is every restriction, harassment, or isolation directly or indirectly based on human differences on the basis of religion, ethnicity, race, political beliefs, which resulted in the reduction, distortion or elimination of recognition, implementation or use of the human rights and basic freedoms in both individual and collective life in the field political, economic, legal, social, cultural and other aspects of life.

Stigma and discrimination have seized gay rights, among them the right protection, security, and gather together as a means of self-actualization as a fundamental need of every human being

The process of getting back this fundamental right, embodied by embrace individuals based on common background, similarity of motivation and goals, then establish associations or community.
Communities serve as a space to build their identity in order to respond to the process life continues. The room in question is the group as a part of the community in the form of associations where they have a system of interaction between members, custom-culture, and systems norms governing interactions, their sustainability, as well as a sense of identity uniting them, plus organizational and leadership system.

Also describe in getting influenced by the goal internalization or constellation of values ​​within an organization. In this case the group equivalent to organizations or entities which are structurally contained individual elements, groups and managerial level. Also have rules as well as the value of the norm for the members. So the group not Community as a free standing structure with members balanced without any binding rules. As associations with elements organizational and leadership system, the role of the leader to be very important. Leaders also considered to be the central point of an organization's key or gatherings of proceeds. Furthermore, internalization of slowly and consciously unconsciously become the benchmark of its members in being associated with rules and objectives of the group.

Identity is also a problem for them, about how they realizing its existence on campus. Identity is divided into two domains, personal and social. Personal realm, or self-identity is as a result of how a person sees himself, how ideas or opinions about himself, and how attitudes towards oneself. While social identity is the result of a process of social adaptation cultural environment that resulted in a change in expression cultural.

In line with this The identity is also associated with various aspects of life, cultural process followed separate contexts as influential factors, eg context residence, social background and cultural background helped provide
the colors in the process of group identity. Therefore, with regard to various aspects of life, where he is, then the actual human multiple identities with many roles in society are actually determined by the needs.

To look at the extent to which measures the gay group proceed in shaping their identities amid various problems
there is. Knowing what is the reason to members interested in joining the group. Digging experience in life homosexual members. Understand what kind of interaction and communication within the group.
Reviewing any contribution from them to members and vice versa, as well relations in the context of the broader society. Furthermore, to add insight, understanding, and the dynamics of the discussion of LGBT issues.
