Abstract

The unique phenomenon that is present in every human life but not necessarily recognized by the social world. Present in social life is one of sexual orientation that is often heard with the term gay. Coming out is a term used in gay individuals who declare themselves open and can be present in social life, so as to be able to make their existence and self-actualization. The issue of existence and self-actualization tends to refer to people's views because of the lives of gays who are in Indonesia, a country with strong traditions, legal legality and religion. Seeing the rules that apply in Indonesia both in terms of religion and culture, certainly not necessarily able to make gays diminished or even disappear, but the problem when these rules become a wall is the existence and creativity that exists in gay people have become very limited therefore many of these gays are still difficult to make their existence and self-actualization. It is this world attraction of minorities that is interesting to know and trace through the life experiences of gay individuals, thus this can present new information from the gay environment, and can explain why and how gay individuals develop communication patterns and forms of communication to communicate with fellow gay individuals. It is these questions that bring researchers to look and explore in greater depth and at the same time answer how gay people live their lives with existing social pressures. This study uses a qualitative research approach using theories, methodologies, and traditions in communication science that is phenomenology, the perspective of the theory that the author uses in this study from Maurice Ponty, about the body and perception, which in this study the author produces body communication in the form of communication patterns and added a new concept to Maurice Ponty's theory, Beyoud Perception.
