Abstract

Friendship between members of the community is close and solid. Although the background of socioeconomic status is quite diverse, in general the members of the gay community come from the middle to upper class. This can be understood because members of the gay community come from urban communities, where social norms are more lax than in rural areas because urban communities tend to be more individualistic, so that such communities will be easy to develop. The formation of gay identities is also triggered by many gay-specific applications. The purpose of this study is to determine imlication the application of social gay network on digital era and society. Narrative inquiry with the thematic method is the method used in this study, where humans are storytellers based on emotions and aesthetic values. Narrative through storytelling can spark creativity, convey identity, give new energy and enthusiasm, and be able to lead individuals to a better future. The data collection technique used FGD to seven gay coming out participants who used the Grindr and Jack’D applications. The participants’ stories were then formulated in the research findings. The results showed that various motives for gays to use these two applications, from purely friendship, friendship, business partners, boyfriends, to sexual and commercial reasons based on economy.
