<![CDATA[The LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) phenomenon has become a controversial global issue, including in Indonesia, where social and religious norms play a major role in shaping people's attitudes. Within the Islamic context, the LGBT community is regarded as being in opposition to human nature and the tenets of sharia law, leading to its frequent rejection. From a psychological perspective, individuals who identify as LGBT face mental distress, anxiety, and identity conflict due to social stigma. This research aims to analyze the influence of Islamic views in shaping attitudes towards LGBT and to examine the psychological impact of social marginalization, with a case study of the "56 Gay Sex Party" in South Jakarta. The research employed a qualitative approach, incorporating a literature review, social media analysis, and a Likert scale survey of religious leaders and the general public. The results indicated that 83.3% of respondents exhibited a negative stance towards LGBT individuals, with religion being the predominant factor influencing their attitudes.
