This study aims to analyze the punishment for gay offenders from the perspective of Qanun Number 6 of 2014 and Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP). The research method used is normative legal research through an examination of Qanun Number 6 of 2014 applicable in Aceh as well as the provisions in Law Number 1 of 2023. The results of the study indicate that the Qanun explicitly regulates the act of liwath as a jarimah subject to uqubat ta’zir in the form of caning, fines, or imprisonment, which is based on Islamic law values and the special autonomous status of Aceh. Meanwhile, Law Number 1 of 2023 does not specifically criminalize sexual orientation, but rather focuses on regulating certain immoral acts with defined elements of the offense and complaint-based provisions in specific contexts. Due to these differences, harmonization of legal understanding is necessary in order to create legal certainty and justice in its implementation, considering the various challenges faced in practice.
