Abstract

In Indonesia, not many people openly identify as homosexual or gay. Sometimes, homosexual minority groups face obstacles in accepting themselves and recognizing their identity. Therefore, this study aims to examine the dynamics of self-acceptance among gay individuals in early adulthood in Madiun, hoping to explore their self-acceptance abilities, both positively and negatively. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a focus on phenomenology, which can explore the problem in depth. Data collection in this study was conducted through interviews and observations based on aspects described by Phillips (1951) with three informants. The characteristics of the informants were identifying themselves as gay, being between the ages of 18 and 40, and residing in the city of Madiun. Of the third research informant, there was one informant who showed a pattern of self-acceptance that was more prominent and better than the other two informants. This was due to factors such as the social environment, life principles, and the ability to utilize the informant's strengths.
