LGBT or GLBT is an acronym of "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender". This term was used since the 1990s and replaced the phrase "gay community" because it is more representative of the groups mentioned.
This acronym is created with the aim of emphasizing the diversity of "cultures based on sexuality and gender identity". Sometimes the term LGBT is used for all people who are not heterosexual, not just homosexual, bisexual, or transgender. Therefore, Q is often added so that queers and people who still question their sexual identity are also represented (eg "LGBTQ" or "GLBTQ", was recorded since 1996
The term LGBT is widely used for self-appointment. The term is also used by the majority of communities and media based on sexuality and gender identity in the United States and some other British states
The term LGBT already represents the groups mentioned above. LGBT has a symbol of a rainbow-colored flag.
If gay is a special name for men who have a sex orientation toward same sex, lesbian is a designation for women who like the same sex. While bisexual is the name for people who can be attracted to men or women. Transgender itself is a term used for people who behave or look different or not fit their gender.
Minister of Health of Indonesia Nila Djuwita F Moeloek once asserted that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender behavior or abbreviated LGBT abbreviated from the side of health is not justified and not psychological disorders but psychological problems.
What is the cause of someone being LGBT?
There are still many Indonesian people who still lay with what terms it is LGBT. LGBT is considered a deviant sexual behavior. Many factors cause a person to be LGBT. Here are some factors that cause LGBT.
- Family factors
The education provided by parents to their children has an important role for children to be more inclined to become an LGBT member than to live a normal life like any other person. When a child is subjected to abusive treatment or other ill-treatment, in the end it may result in the child becoming inclined to choose LGBT as a life choice.
When a girl gets harsh treatment or other violent acts from her father or other brother, the consequences of such trauma will be that the girl may have a hateful nature or attitude towards all men.
- Environmental and social factors
The environment and the habits of a person in associating is allegedly the most dominant factor causing one's decision to be part of the LGBT community. The inclusion of cultures originating from abroad is also considered to be the cause of someone to join LGBT. This culture introduces them to what LGBT is.
- Genetic factors
Several studies have shown that one of the driving factors of homosexual, lesbian, or other perverted sex behavior can come from within the body of an LGBT person whose nature may decrease from previous family members.
In the world of health, in general a normal male has an XY chromosome in his body, whereas a normal female chromosome is XX. However, in some cases it is found that a man may have a type of XXY chromosome, which means that the man has an excess of one chromosome. As a result, the man could have behaved that was somewhat similar to the female behavior.
The presence of the hormone testosterone in the human body has a big share of LGBT behavior. Low levels of the hormone testosterone in the body, can lead to, among others, affect the changes in behavior, such as male behavior to be similar to the behavior of women.
Not everyone who agrees with LGBT or GLBT terms. For example, some argue that transgender and transsexual movements are not the same as lesbians, gay and bisexual (LGB). This argument rests on the notion that transgender and transcendence relate to gender identity of sexual orientation. The issue of LGB is seen as a matter of orientation or sexual stimulation. The separation is done in political action: LGB's objectives are considered to be different from transgender and transsexuals, such as same-sex marriage ends and human rights struggles that are not related to transgender and intersex.
In 2002, the Indonesian government has granted the privilege of Aceh's special region to implement Islamic sharia law to address LGBT behavior. the law does not apply only to Muslims, but non-Muslims participate in it. Under the law, homosexual activity has been regarded as a form of crime and criminal acts. Acts of homosexual and other deviant sexual behavior are defined as acts of prostitution in violation of religious norms, morals, and social rules prevailing in society. In the end, not only the province of Aceh is implementing the sharia law, but also firm steps have been followed by about 52 regions in Indonesia.

How to respond to LGBT
LGBT is not a trivial issue, even the Prophet Luth Alaihissalampun had time to face difficulties when facing his people who have sex behavior that deviates. Then how is the right way to deal with LGBT people? Should we scorn them with insults and insults? No. Responding to LGBT problems in the form of insults and insults is wrong, here's how:
Avoid scorning them with verbal abuse, because if it is done then LGBT actors will increasingly feel victimized. We can learn from the Prophet Luth Alaihisalam, where despite his people he faced many sufferings, but he never once sent a sentence to the sodom.
Disseminating about the dangers of LGBT
Not exclude the lives of LGBT actors, either in family life or in the community
Being a supporter and encouragement for LGBT actors so they will abandon the habit and return to normal life
Provides punishment for a deterrent effect.
There are some hadiths that underlie the opinion that LGBT perpetrators are given punishment as sanctions for these actions, such as:
From Ibn Abbas, said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) cursed the men of mukhannats and women mutarajjilah. He said, 'Get them out of your house', then the Holy Prophet expelled Si Fulan, while Umar drove Si Fulan. "(Narrated by Bukhari)
"Any one of you find someone who commits the actions of the people of Lut then kill the culprit along with his partner." (HR Ahmad).
