Abstract

This study highlights how perceptions of a Muslim student community known as UKKI at a public university toward homosexual identity in “Monster” movie. The data presented in this study were obtained through in-depth interviews with members of UKKI. The results of the interviews were analyzed using the reception analysis method, in which the researchers grouped the audience’s reception into three groups: dominant, negotiation, and opposition; and analyzed why they belonged to each group. The result showed that the majority of informants are able to interpret the LGBT values conveyed in the movie Monster (2023), which proves that people with a spiritual community background are also sensitive and able to understand the existence of LGBT people in the social environment. The study contributes to media, gender, and interfaith dialogue scholarships, in particular that it debunks the stereotype of Muslim community being conservative toward LGBT group. Future research on the effectiveness of similar movies in promoting inclusivity toward LGBT group to a certain religious community is worth investigating.
