Abstract


Gays as discrimination in Indonesia also need subjective well-being and they have difficulty in fulfilling their subjective well-being. Researchers aim to conduct research to determine subjective well being in gays. The development of the times is also the way we think about a phenomenon that occurs in the environment around us One of them is the right of everyone to choose and have a life partner, but sometimes it is also inseparable from deviations that are currently increasingly occurring and increasingly becoming things that are starting to be accepted and taken for granted by some people, one of which is having a same-sex / homosexual partner. The research method used is qualitative research conducted with a phenomenological approach, with data mining techniques through on-on-one interview type interviews and questions arranged based on three components that can describe subjective well being, namely life satisfaction, happiness, and high welfare (Diener, 2009). In this study, the subject search was carried out Snowball Sampling technique by setting the criteria for the research subject as follows: a same-sex enthusiast or LGBT or Gay, still in a relationship or having a same-sex partner until now, and willing to willingly become a research subject. The subjects numbered 4 People. The results of research that have been conducted show the results that there are six things that describe subjective well-being in gays, namely life satisfaction, self-esteem, life experiences, romantic relationships with partners, family, and religion. The results of interviews on all four subjects also showed that all four subjects had high levels of subjective well-being.

Kaum gay sebagai kaum yang deskriminasi di Indonesia juga membutuhkan subjective well-being dan mereka memiliki kesulitan dalam memenuhi kesejahteraan subjektif yang ada dalam dirinya.

Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian kualitatif dilakukan dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, dengan teknik penggalian data melalui wawancara tipe on-on-one interview dan pertanyaan yang disusun berdasarkan tiga komponen yang dapat menggambarkan subjective well being, yaitu kepuasan hidup, kebahagiaan dan kesejahteraan yang tinggi (Diener, 2009). dalam penelitian ini pencarian subjek dilakukan teknik Snowball Sampling dengan menetapkan kriteria subjek penelitian sebagai berikut: seorang penyuka sesama jenis atau LGBT atau Gay, masih menjalin hubungan atau memiliki pasangan sesama jenis hingga sekarang, dan bersedia dengan rela hati menjadi subjek penelitian.Subjek berjumlah 4 Orang.
