LGBTQ AS HUMAN BEINGS: EQUAL RIGHTS AND TREATMENT

Abstract

Every human being has human rights, regardless of their behavior. Do you think LGBTQ+ people should be discriminated against? Despite their deviant behavior, people with such behavior still have potentials and skills that should be respected like any other human being. This research will focus on the rights of an LGBTQ+ person as a human being in the context of their potential which should be respected. A short story with the title "Grow up into yourself" is the story about how the main character found her himself that in the end he realized that he’s a bisexual. This short story uses as the source of data, collected using descriptive qualitative method by referring to Martin Heidegger and Djoko Rahardjo theories on LGBTQ and human rights. So that a perspective is found that, the surrounding environment will remain the main enemy for LGBTQ, no matter how potential they are, they will still receive discrimination as a social sanction for their deviant behavior. Then, the existence of a homo will remain negative no matter what form it takes. Keywords: LGBTQ+, Human rights, Discrimination.
