FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MENGHAMBAT COMING OUT PADA LESBI FEMME DI BALI
Abstract: In psychology, lesbian
has not regarded as a psychiatric disorder since 1973 until now based on
guidebook of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder).
But until now presence of lesbians on the society are still faced with a denial
and violation of religion, norms, and values prevailing in society. In
Indonesia, especially in Bali, lesbian being as individual mostly
"down" due to two main things, there are strong patriarchy culture
that makes women as a minority and then because lesbians are still considered a
disease and deviant. This makes the lesbian increasingly difficulty in
adjusting to society that makes lesbian experience barriers to self-disclosure
(coming out). Doing coming out in lesbian is not easy, especially in the
lesbian femme which recognized very good at hiding his identity as a lesbian,
because other people cannot just interpret a feminine woman is a lesbian. This
makes the researchers want to determine the factors that hinder the coming out
on lesbian femme in Bali.
This study uses qualitative research methods with phenomenology approach.
Respondents this study were four people who have an identity as a lesbian femme
in Bali and have not done of coming out phase as a lesbian. The results of this
study indicate that all respondents have not been able to reach the final stage
of coming out as known as integration stage. The respondents only can reach the
stage of awareness, exploration and acceptance. There are two limiting factor
which inhibit of coming out phase, factors that originate from within the
individual (internal limiting factor) and the factors that come from outside
the individual (external limiting factor). Internal limiting factor obtained in
the research that is the hope of re-heterosexual, guilt, and love, while the
external limiting factor is influenced by family, social pressures, norms and
culture.
