        abstract = {In Saleem Haddad?s Guapa the issue of homosexuality is portrayed in the
story. Rasa as the main character who is a gay Muslim man struggles to negotiate
the fact that he is a gay man living in a Middle Eastern country with Islamic
background. He tries to live his life as a gay man and deals with the fact that it is
unacceptable in the community. Thus, the researcher intends to analyze the
portrayal of homosexuality in the novel and how it is portrayed in such a way
using queer theory by Foucault to understand how homosexuality is portrayed and
constructed. To analyze the data, the researcher uses the descriptive qualitative
method in this research. The method emphasizes the description and explanation
of the data. The researcher also conducts library research in this study. Based on
the analysis, it is found that homosexuality is a constructed identity.
Homosexuality relates to the placed discourse in the society, thus deconstruction
of the discourse is needed to erase the prejudice in the community.}
