Abstract

LGBT social media activity is a new anxiety in Indonesia. The law on LGBT and its activity does not yet exist, but LGBT people do live in the community. Most people think LGBT is a sin and others consider it a human right. The dissemination of LGBT activity is done through social media. Two problem statements: Does LGBT social media activity violate the ITE Law and what solution can be used to overcome LGBT social media activity? Legal sociology is used as an approach and qualitative as the method. Sources of research : ITE Law, Fatwa MUI, Social Media relating to LGBT and news media. The results : LGBT social media activity is not breaking the articles of ITE Law but can be overcome by the MUI Fatwa number 57 of 2014 as a solution. The discussion was divided into the application of the Fatwa from rehabilitation to the death penalty. Conclusions, LGBT social media activity in cyber space are things that are similar to the real life, can be punished if the MUI fatwa number 57 of 2014 is implemented. Impact for the government to immediately issue a law on LGBT.
