LGBT impact many aspects of life, including health, socio and economic. Regarding Muslim countries, the Muslim community act toward LGBT primarily based on Alquran and hadidt. This study aimed to explore a broader perspective on what LGBT is, the huge impacts on physical health, mental health and economics, the proper act of Muslim people against the LGBT, the role of Indonesian Law to address the impact of LGBT, and how education institution, especially in Indonesia, acts towards LGBT. The research utilized in this study was library research, specifically descriptive-qualitative research. Relevant expert statements and other encountered explanations will be collected according to the related themes and sub-themes. We found that there are huge impacts of LGBT on men's and women's physical health, including the problem related to obesity, cardiovascular and hypertension, cancer, HIV/AIDS, cortisol dysregulation, sleep disorder, harmful habits such as tobacco use, excessive drinking, and drugs. Regarding mental health, LGBT has detrimental effects on mental health, such as anxiety, depression, sadness, fear, eating disorders, and disability. LGBT behaviour affected people's economic status, where they received job discrimination. There are various acts of Muslims against LGBT. Muslims have to prevent the worst effect and the spreading of LGBT in the community. In Indonesia, several regional laws have been implemented to address LGBT, considering the affect both on physical and mental health of LGBT. Education institutions should actively campaign about the negative impact of LGBT and prevent LGBT from spreading.
