Indeed KPA Sumedang declare a trend towards increased population in Sumedang Gay group characterized by the presence of the Gay communities, such as PERI and GAYa.Gay courage of Sumedang established a community openly to the public, indicating the number of them quite a lot and have the power to actualize the existence of the group. Data collected from the informants of the study showed that the Gay community PERI established with the main motive would like to have a communication media for the fellow Gay Sumedang so that it can become a place of mutual help and liberate themselves from such deviant behavior. In addition, PERI acted as KPA partners to become an agent of socialization in preventing of HIV-AIDS in the community. But, this study shows a contradictory fact, even the role of the community in helping KPA, PERI adequately assessed positively by the public, but the presence of the PERI organization itself actually has made the group Gay Sumedang increasingly exclusive and obtain justification for such deviant behavior. Instead of helping each other in order to change and free themselves of misbehavior, this community even further strengthen their belief that being Gay is a choice
