Rejecting LGBT Behavior, But Do Not Reject The Person

311

Having a special sexual orientation like the Gay Bisexual Transgender Lesbian group (LGBT), is something that deviates according to religion and culture in Indonesia. Minister of Religious Affairs Lukman Hakim Saifuddin said that none of the religions on earth agree with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) behaviors.

Lukman says no religion accepts LGBT acts. The rejection of LGBT has also become a common agreement in Indonesia’s positive law. Where the positive legal norms in Indonesia do not legalize LGBT.

Lukman said the problem is how we respond to those who have such a sexual orientation. Nevertheless, Lukman also appealed to the community not to stay away from the LGBT actors. Because, these people need to be embraced and not vice versa instead shunned.

He added, our only way to live is that those who do such behavior, regardless of the cause, can return to the teachings of religion. They should be embraced and nurtured, not just shunned and excommunicated. It is precisely our duty of believers that religion is inviting. If we think it is a misguided act, then it is our duty to invite them back on the right path.

Lukman also added, currently in the midst of society still appears various views on the background of the causes of LGBT. Not only among religious leaders, but also academics, experts both psychologists, health, and social experts.

Lukman also asserted that each view should be respected and respected. Some say that it happened because of irregularities, because of social problems. Some say that this is the curse of God. But, some say it as destiny.

LGBT groups should still be respected for their rights as human beings, and as citizens of Indonesia. We expect Muslims to treat them well. States should also protect the rights of LGBT groups. In addition, the state must also intervene to help those who have a specific sexual orientation, returning to nature as a human being. One way to prevent LGBT is by getting kids to play with the tools or game types according to their gender. Rasulullah SAW ordered the parents to teach the boys practice archery, horse riding, and playing swords. Meanwhile, girls, as did Aisha RA as a child, used to play dolls.
