Abstract
Ada banyak penelitian, Teori dan karya-karya sastra yang membahas mengenai homoseksual. Sebab,masyarakat sadar bahwa homoseksual ada di sekitar mereka. Masyarakat memiliki perbedaan perspektif dan reaksi terhadap orang-orang homoseksual. dua novel yang berjudul Caught Running dan Lelaki Terindah menggambarkan kehidupan empat karakter gay. Dua novel tersebut berasal dari negara berbeda yang memiliki latar budaya yang berbeda pula. Studi ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis bagaimana orang-orang di sekitar kharakter homoseksual (Amerika dan Indonesia) berpikir mengenai homoseksual setelah mengetahui masyarakat berpikir tentang mereka. Peneliti menggunakan studi perbandingan untuk membedakan dan menjelaskan temuan. Peniliti menggunakan pendekatan psikososial untuk menganalisis bagaimana masyarakat di sekitar karakter homoseksual berpikir mengenai homoseksual. Teori queer digunakan untuk meneliti normalisasi keanehan untuk melawan intoleransi dalam masyarakat. Selain itu, peneliti mengaplikasikan tahap-tahap pengakuan dari Cass untuk mengetahui homoseksual di Amerika dan gay di Indonesia menerima dan menunjukkan eksistensi mereka. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan antara pemikiran orang Indonesia dan orang Amerika tentang homoseksual. Orang Amerika cenderung membuat kelakar mengenai homoseksual tetapi, menerima sebenarnya menerima jika orang-orang di sekitar mereka homoseksual. Sebab, mereka berpikir setiap individu harus bangga dengan diri mereka selama hal itu tidak merugikan orang lain. Tetapi, kelakar masyarakat berdampak pada karakter gay dalam nolel Caught Running. Mereka menyembunyikan hubungan mereka tetapi, setelah mereka tahu orang-orang di sekitar mereka mendukung mereka, mereka dengan bangga menunjukkan jati diri. Fenomena di Amerika sangat kontras di Indonesia. Masyarakat Indonesia tidak ingin ada pasangan homoseksual karena hukum, aturan dan nilai. Orang-orang di sekitar karakter homoseksual dalam novel Lelaki Terindah berpikir pasangan yang tepat adalah pasangan antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Hal tersebut membuat karakter gay di Indonesia harus memperjuangkan eksistensi mereka. Peneliti menyarankan peneliti selanjutnya untuk menulis mengenai psikologi keempat homoseksual karakter dalam dua novel tersebut menggunakan teori psikologi.

The researcher proposes psychosocial approach to analyze how people around gay characters in both novels think about gay people. Queer theory is used to investigate the normalization of queerness to against intolerance in society. Besides, the researcher applies coming out stages by Cass to find out how American and Indonesian gays accepting and showing their existences. The result of the study shows that there are differences between Americans and Indonesian thoughts about gayness. Americans just tend to make joke about gay people but they accept if there are people around them are gay. It is because they think that each individual has to be proud of them selves as long as it does not harm other people. However, the joking people make affect gay characters in Caught Running novel. they hide their relationship but after they know people around support them, they show their existences proudly. The phenomenon in America is contrast in Indonesia. Indonesians do not want gay couple exist because of the law, rule and value. People around gay characters in Lelaki Terindah novel think the right couple is between man and woman. It makes gay characters in Indonesia have to struggle for their existence. The researcher suggest to other researcher to write about the psychology of four gay characters in both novels by using psychological theory.
