This issue is very important to be discussed because, in this era, many people agree with LGBT and worse some States formally approved the same-sex marriage. Very obviously it also raises a lot of pros and cons. There may be many people wonder why in Indonesia are not allowed LGBT / same-sex marriage legally? Because, first Indonesia is a religious country, perhaps Indonesia is a country that embraces the democratic system but Indonesia still use religion as its foundation it is written in PANCASILA precepts to one. The most religion (Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist and Hindu) strictly prohibits the existence of LGBT. Second LGBT is a kind of mental illness because of accusatory nature and not by the sexual orientation of the statement by Dr. Fidiansyah in a discussion Indonesian Lawyer's Club (ILC). Next, LGBT also deviates from the values and norms that exist in Indonesian society where social norms largely taken from tribal religion and culture. In addition, LGBT also communicable diseases, when LGBT contagious and infected some of Indonesia then automatically over time could become extinct because of no continuation off spring because most LGBT result can only adopt children.

So it was a thing to note why Indonesia is not supported LGBT and not formalize same-sex marriage legal. Although humans have the freedom to choose, but if one determines as a choice there will be friction between the groups, to differences of opinion, differences in the interests of social conflict and ended up generating divisions. Therefore advised that it would be good to be more selective and cautious when deciding on a particular choice is in conformity with the religious orders, is in conformity to social norms or are in accordance with applicable law whether in Indonesia.
