Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual, Transgender (LGBT) dan Keadilan Sosial

Jeanete Ophilia Papilaya

Abstract


LGBT singkatan dari Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual, dan Transgender. Individu yang termasuk dalam kaum LGBT jumlahnya lebih sedikit dibandingkan kaum heteroseksual. Kaum LGBT seringkali mendapatkan serta menerima pandangan negatif, prasangka, serta kebencian dari lingkungan. Seperti kelompok yang termarginalkan lainnya, kaum LGBT mengalami penolakan, kekerasan, dan diskriminasi di berbagai area seperti pekerjaan, sekolah, layanan kesehatan, dan hak asasi mereka. Di Indonesia masih ada beberapa produk hukum di tingkat nasional maupun daerah yang mendiskriminasikan kelompok LGBT. Padahal jelas ada Pancasila sebagai dasar Negara Indonesia, pada sila ke-5 serta Deklarasi Universal Hak Asasi Manusia (DUHAM). Bentuk ketidak adilan yang dialami dan dirasakan oleh kaum LGBT yaitu stigma, diskrimminasi, dan kekerasan. Bentuk lain dari diskriminasi dan penindasan yang secara eksplisit didukung oleh Undang-Undang mengakibatkan orang LGBT tidak dapat menikmati hak-hak dan perlindungan yang seharusnya mereka rasakan. Semua diskriminasi terhadap kaum LGBT disebabkan oleh stigma sosial yang dihasilkan dari doktrin dan pemahaman agama yang konservatif. Diskriminasi dan intoleransi masih terus menjadi konstruksi sosial dan pandangan dominan masyarakat terhadap kaum LGBT. Untuk dapat mewujudkan keadilan sosial dan tidak menindas kelompok minoritas serta mengembangkan budaya toleransi bisa ditempuh melalui pendidikan, perbaikan regulasi dan sejumlah kebijakan oleh pemerintah, serta partisipasi masyarakat dalam memahami kaum LGBT.
