The legal analysis technique in this study was carried out kualitative.Results Main Findings of the Research: This study shows that the Criminal Code still has weaknesses in the elements of criminalization of perpetrators of same-sex intercourse. The weakness is that the National Criminal Code only recognizes limited intercourse only between men and women, related to same-sex indecent acts that can be subject to criminalization if carried out under certain conditions. The solution needs to be formulated to expand the norms and create specific regulations (lex specialis) related to these acts. This is to maximize criminalization not only as a repressive means but also as a preventive measure against same-sex intercourse which is categorized as a criminal act.]]>
