Abstract :
In Indonesia, homosexual cases are not new, during the 1981-1983 period
for the first time the debate about homosexuals became a national
discourse. This increase occurred because of the self-disclosure or coming
out of an LGBT person. Although lesbian behavior in Indonesia is still
considered taboo, lesbian human rights are human rights, but in Indonesia,
lesbian groups are often victims of violence, discrimination, and even
criminalization. Until now, same-sex couples (homosexuals) are still
considered a deviant sexual orientation by society. Homosexuality is a
feeling of romantic or sexual attraction between individuals of the same sex.
Interpersonal relationships among lesbians can occur since adolescence.
This study uses the theory of the stages of development of the Devito
relationship and is associated with Baxter's Relational Dialectics which
examines the dynamics of relationships. The results of this study indicate
that lesbian couples manage their relationship through a series of stages
and there are dynamics in the relationship
