Abstract

LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Two-spirit, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Ally) is endemic to society, especially in Indonesia. This has also infected children and adolescents, in particular. Therefore, both parents and teachers as educators must address the signs that LGBTQ+ causes in society and especially among children. LGBTQ is contrary to nature, norms, customs, beliefs, and human morality. Furthermore, LGBTQ+ behavior is not a disease transmitted through genes or disorders, but rather the impact of mistakes on children’s education. The purpose of this research was to describe the meaning of LGBTQ, to explore the role of parents in educating children to avert them from LGBTQ+ behavior, and to explain the importance of the role of parents so that their children avoid LGBTQ+ behavior. This research is qualitative, in which data are collected from semi-structural interviews and library approach studies from books, magazines, and journals. The results of this study suggest that the influence of parental education on children in vanquishing LGBTQ+ is essential so that parents should be able to provide the best education following Islamic teachings, and parents must always supervise children’s social interactions in the environment, give love to children, and direct to positive things. It does not exclude today’s situation where we live in modern times with various kinds of information convenience, internet access, and social media. If parents neglect their children’s use of the internet, eventually, it will bring unimaginable impact. It should be avoided for parents as the trigger of such conduct of LGBTQ+ children by giving the wrong parenting style which leads to children hating their parents and then coming towards LGBTQ+. Therefore, cultivating proper knowledge of the negative impact of LGBTQ+ should be conducted.
