Abstract:Coming out as queer is nowadays often met with both support and negative responses. These negative responses often are not explicitly negative, but rather question the decision to come out at all or the reliability of the person coming out. This thesis deals with the question of what forms of denial are found as responses to coming out posts on social media. I discuss denial as a mechanism of epistemic oppression and silencing, and analyze the role of social media in these dynamics.
