Abstrak

This study aims to analyze and compare the perceptions of Generation Z and Millennials in Indonesia toward LGBT (Lesbian and Gay) issues from a social and cultural perspective. Participants were selected using accidental sampling with a quantitative approach. The variables in this study include attitudes toward LGBT individuals, having LGBT friends, and the number of LGBT friends, measured using the Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men (ATLG) Scale. The results show that respondents identifying as Catholic and Buddhist tend to have more positive perceptions of LGBT individuals compared to Muslim and Christian respondents. The findings are analyzed using the Social Identity Theory, Social-Ecological Environment Theory, and Theory of Social Value Change, and are supported by previous studies on the influence of culture and media on LGBT attitudes. The results suggest that religiosity and media exposure play a significant role in shaping attitudes toward LGBT individuals.
