"ABSTRAKSebagai salah satu episode paling populer dari serial televisi fiksi ilmiah asal Inggris, San Junipero dipandang sebagai salah satu episode serial Black Mirror yang menarik untuk dianalisis, terlebih dari segi sains dan teknologi, karena adanya penggunaan teknologi virtual canggih didalamnya. Meskipun demikian, pembahasan tentang isu-isu LGBT dalam serial televisi fiksi seperti ilmiah Black Mirror masih jarang ditemukan. Dengan menggunakan metode analisis mise-en-scènes untuk menelaah aspek-aspek sinematografis seperti latar, warna, kostum, teknik kamera, serta akting, sekaligus metode analisis literatur untuk menelaah keberadaan serta karakteristik tokoh-tokoh LGBT di dalamnya, tulisan ini mencoba menelaah aspek-aspek heteronormatif yang masih bertahan di balik imej celebration of queerness yang diakui oleh para penggemar episode ini. Dari hasil analisis, nilai-nilai heteronormativitas masih tercermin di dalam episode ini karena, faktanya, kedua karakter LGBT di dalamnya masih ditampilkan secara stereotipikal. Eksistensi karakter-karakter LGBT di dalam episode ini juga ternyata sesuai dengan kritik Rich (1980) tentang latar belakang eksistensi lesbian yang berkaitan dengan heteronormativitas.

ABSTRACTAs one of the episodes from the famous sci-fi British TV series, San Junipero has become one of the most interesting episodes from Black Mirror series to be analyzed, specifically from the perspective of science and technology, for its mind-blowing VR-based invention. Nevertheless, the aspect of gender and LGBT issues has not been commonly explored in sci-fi literature like Black Mirror. Using mise-en-scène as an approach to analyze some of the cinematographic elements, (setting, color, costume, camera work and performance) as well as analyzing the queer characters, this article tries to identify the heteronormative elements that still persist under the image of a celebration of queerness the episode has received from the fans. Apparently, heteronormativity is still depicted in the episode for the fact that the queer characters are still portrayed rather stereotypically according to several studies about the representation of queer characters in the media discussed by Seifs (2013). As a heterotopia, according to Foucaults (1986), the establishment of the queer characters in San Junipero also fit Richs (1980) critique towards the lesbian existence in relation to compulsory heteronormativity that queer romance exists through melancholy. Nevertheless, not all aspects in the episode scream pure heteronormativity. Although at first glance it seems stereotypical, the queer characters appearance seem to help establishing a non-stereotypical identity in female-female relationship."

"Dalam perjalanan kesusastraan Indonesia, tema seksualitas dan LGBTQ+ baru muncul pada tahun 2004 dengan diterbitkannya novel Cermin Merah karya Nano Riantiarno. Tema tersebut dapat dikatakan sebagai tema baru, jika mengingat masyarakat Indonesia yang masih memegang prinsip bahwa hubungan seksual antara laki-laki dan perempuan adalah sebuah kodrat manusia yang harus dijalankan. Itulah prinsip yang disebut heteronormativitas. Dominannya prinsip heteronormativitas ini pun kemudian ditunjukkan di dalam karya sastra, salah satunya dalam novel Cermin Merah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana gambaran pandangan heteronormatif terhadap tokoh LGBTQ+ di dalam novel tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskripsi kualitiatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat dengan prinsip heteronormatif dalam novel ini menganggap bahwa hubungan heteroseksual sebagai sebuah kemutlakan yang didukung oleh norma-norma yang berlaku (sosial, budaya, dan agama) serta dengan mendasarinya pada faktor reproduksi manusia. Oleh sebab itu, masyarakat dalam novel Cermin Merah menolak penyimpangan orientasi seksual yang dilakukan oleh tokoh Arsena beserta tokoh-tokoh lainnya karena dianggap berbeda dan melanggar norma yang berlaku. Penolakan tersebut kemudian berujung pada tindakan diskriminatif terhadap tokoh LGBTQ+, khususnya tokoh Arsena, Edu, dan Anto. Seiring perkembangan zaman, orientasi seksual manusia pun semakin berkembang sehingga perlu ada keterbukaan dalam menghadapi persoalan tersebut.

Throughout the history of Indonesian literature, sexuality and LGBTQ+ related themes begun to appear in 2004 with the release of Nano Riantiarno’s Cermin Merah. These two themes are relatively new in Indonesia, considering that Indonesian people still holds a principle which believes that sexual relationship between men and women is human nature that must be upholded. That principle is called heteronormativity. The domineering presence of this principle is later shown in literature works, one of which is in Cermin Merah. This research is aimed to explain how heteronormative view towards LGBTQ+ characters is represented in said novel. This research is made using descriptive-qualitative method. Results showed that heteronormative people in this novel treated heterosexual relationship as something absolute supported by the norms that applied in their society (social, cultural, and religion) as well as the human reproductive factor. Therefore, the people in Cermin Merah completely neglected Arsena and the other characters’ sexual deviance because it violated their norms. Their rejection led to discriminative actions towards LGBTQ+ characters in this novel, specifically Arsena, Edu, and Anto. As time goes by, human’s sexual orientation keeps on growing which is why there needs to be an openness in order to deal with its presences."

"In the US, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals report higher rates of depression compared with heterosexual and cisgender persons. To date, little is known about the mental health of LGBT adults in Thailand. Here, we examined rates and correlates of depression among a volunteer sample of Thai LGBTs. Data were collected as part of a larger cross-sectional survey study. Standardized measures of sexual orientation and gender identity, stress, coping style, and minority stressors were completed. Of the 411 participants, 40.3% met the criteria for depression. In multivariate analyses, the combined influences of sociodemographic factors, general stress, coping strategies, and minority-specific stress variables explained 47.2% of the variance in depression scores (F[16,367]= 20.48, p<.001). Correlates of depression included coping strategies and minority-specific stressors, including experiences of victimization, discrimination, and level of identity concealment. Study findings have implications for psychiatric nursing practice and the development of intervention research."

"Dalam masyarakat yang kental dengan cara pandang heteronormativitas, individu nonbiner memanfaatkan ruang digital untuk mempresentasikan identitas gender diri seutuhnya. Salah satu aplikasi kencan berbasis internet, Bumble menembus batas mengekang tersebut dengan membentuk ruang aman beserta rangkaian kebijakan yang mengutamakan gender inklusivitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan melibatkan enam pengguna Bumble yang mengidentifikasi diri sebagai nonbiner, serta memperoleh data melalui wawancara mendalam bersama informan, serta observasi penggunaan Bumble. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bagaimana platform Bumble tersebut tak sepenuhnya ramah bagi gender minoritas karena pengguna nonbiner sering kali mengalami mikroagresi. Selain itu, identitas gender memegang peran penting bagi pengguna nonbiner di Bumble dalam membangun interaksi dengan orang baru. Pengguna nonbiner menanggulangi diskriminasi yang terjadi melalui metode penyaringan profil secara manual dengan kriteria tertentu untuk memilah profil yang mereka ingin menjalin interaksi. Hal ini bertujuan untuk melindungi diri dari terjadinya mikroagresi dan diskriminasi serta tetap dapat menavigasikan identitas gender mereka dengan leluasa pada aplikasi tersebut.

In a society deeply rooted by heteronormative perspectives, nonbinary individuals leverage digital spaces to authentically present their gender identities. Internet-based dating application, Bumble, defies these constraints by establishing a safe space and a set of policies that prioritize gender inclusivity. This research employs a qualitative method involving six Bumble users who identify as nonbinary, gathering data through in-depth interviews, also through observations of Bumble usage. The findings indicate that the Bumble platform is not entirely accommodating to gender minorities, as nonbinary users frequently experience microaggressions. Furthermore, gender identity plays a crucial role for nonbinary users on Bumble in establishing interactions with new people. Nonbinary users prevent discrimination through manual profile filtering methods with specific criteria to select profiles with whom they wish to interact. This aims to protect themselves from microaggressions and discrimination while navigating their gender identities freely on the application."
