| description | Political socialization, actually, is an investment of political values from one
generation to the next generations. The purpose is to increase the political participation.
Political socialization must take place continuously to all groups of societies. Lesbian Gay
Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) group is a one of minority groups in our society, usually
they are not accepted by the society, and they used to be forgotten in political socialization.
However, in 2014 legislative election in Yogyakarta City of Indonesia, that elects Local
Parliament (DPRD), House of Representatives (DPR) and Regional Councils (DPD)
members; the LGBT people becomes a spotlight for the general election commissions
(KPU) in Yogyakarta City. KPU has many methods to attract them in legislative election.
One of their methods is doing political socialization. So, in this research we want to see
how LGBT people think about the political socialization. The research method is focus
group discussion to gay young adults as part of LGBT group. We pick those gay young
adults as our informant because of their participation in general election and their
knowledge about politics. Based on the research using descriptive analysis, it found that
political socialization to LGBT group by KPU is not optimal; KPU cannot optimize the
participation of LGBT group to become voter in legislative election. The reasons are: (1)
LGBT group is unorganized group, because there is no data about them; (2) The
socialization is not maximal because the political message is limited to call of their suffrage
not to enlarge the political participation; (3) The candidates have no intention to create a
program dedicated to the LGBT group. Based on the results, this political socialization
method cannot be applied. The FGD results show that political socialization must start from
political education to open the frame of view about LGBT group because their presence is
needed for the sustainability of the nation. |
