The result of the research shows that (1) homosexuality phenomena in the current Indonesian novels are reflected in theme and character problems, (2) these phenomena are related to the existence of homosexual community in Indonesia, whose members already demand that their existence be recognized in society, and (3) these phenomena are related to feminism, especially radical feminism that influences the authors’ creativity.
