Abstrak—Dalam beberapa tahun belakangan ini, isu homoseksual berkembangsangat pesat. Isu ini tentu tidak dapat dihindari lagi. Tidak mungkin untuk masyarakat terus-terusan menutup mata. Melihat dari sisi agama yang tidak dapat lepas dari kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia yang idealnya menjunjung tinggi Pancasila dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, banyak ajaran agama yang menolak homoseksual secara tegas—ajaran agama Kristen salah satunya. Dalam ajaran Kristen yang dominan diyakini umat, perilaku homoseksual adalah sebuah dosa dan benar-benar mendukakan hati Tuhan. Namun, apakah ajaran tersebut adalah satu- satunya ajaran mengenai homoseksual yang ada di dalam Kristen? Tidak. Ada ajaran lain yang mendukung kaum homoseksual dan tidak banyak yang tahu mengenai ajaran tersebut. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini ada untuk mengisi kekosongan ilmu tersebut. Ada dua pendeta yang akan diwawancarai. Dua pendeta tersebut berasal dari dua kubu yang berbeda, yaitu kubu yang menerima dan yang menolak homoseksual. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendeta sebagai narasumber karena dalam suatu praktik keagamaan, pendeta adalah agen terbesar dalam menyebarkan ajaran agama atau teologi. Mereka dijunjung tinggi sebagai seseorang yang memiliki dampak terbesar kepada umat-umat pemeluk agama Kristen. Hal- hal yang dikatakan oleh pemimpin agama sering kali langsung diamini oleh umat.
