Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana representasi LGBTQ di media online the Jakarta Post (JP). Penelitian ini berangkat dari massifnya pemberitaan LGBTQ di JP. Pemberitaan LGBTQ pada media JP nampak menunjukkan sikap pro JP terhadap upaya legalisasi LGBTQ di tengah masyarakat Indonesia. Berbeda dengan media lain yang cenderung netral ataupun kontra terhadap legalisasi LGBTQ di Indonesia. Teori dalam penelitian ini ialah teori media dan meaning perspektif Gill Branston dan Roy Stafford. Dalam teori tersebut terdapat tiga unsur teori, yakni analisis semiotika, strukturalisme, serta makna denotasi dan konotasi. Adapun melalui teori tersebut penulis memiliki tiga temuan utama. Pertama, analisis semiotik terepresentasikan dari penggunaan font berwarna putih yang identic dengan LGBTQ itu suci dan positif. Kedua, konsep strukturalisme dalam kata “a fight for acceptance” tidak hanya bermakna “perlawanan” tetapi juga “persaudaraan” bahwa LGBTQ bagian dari masyarakat Indonesia. Ketiga makna denotasi dan konotasi nampak dari kata “acceptance” yang tidak hanya “penerimaan” tetapi juga “legalisasi” LGBTQ. Selain itu representasi LGBTQ di JP nampak menunujukan sikap pro LGBTQ sepertihalnya media lain Jakarta Globe. Sedangkan di lain sisi legalisasi LGBTQ secara dominan tidak diterima oleh publik.

‘The Jakarta Post di Instagram: “Dear loyal readers, A few days ago, we conducted polls and questionnaires about LGBTQ acceptance in our society as part of our celebration of Pride Month. We are overwhelmed by the great amount of support and positive energy from all of you, showing that our society is moving in the right direction toward accepting the LGBTQ community as they are; no different from anyone else in regard to their value as human beings. While we also received some backlash, this feels insignificant compared with the love and positivity most of you showed in your open answers and votes. Here we share the poll results and some of your answers to the LGBTQ+ acceptance questionnaires. #PrideMonth #LoveWins”’. 2022. Instagram. 14 June 2022. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cex97pIlJp6/.
