Abstrak
Timor Leste is currently promoting the LGBTQ rights. In stark contrast to their beliefs every year this country celebrates the annual Pride Parade in the capital city of Dili. This research focuses on a Youtube channel Vice Indonesia which has visited and reported the annual Pride Parade celebration in Dili. The focus of this present paper is to analyze the discriminatory discursive strategies that are present in the video rsquo s comments section and how people perceive LGBTQ in Timor Leste after watching the video. Discriminatory discursive strategies by Flowerdew et al. (2002) have been reviewed and used in this research to analyze the negative comments. The results show that four discursive strategies namely (1) negative other presentation (2) scare tactics (3) blaming the victim and (4) delegitimation were found in the comments section. Positive and supportive comments are present but they hidden beneath the negative comments. In addition this research has offered some insights into how Indonesian people perceive LGBTQ by looking at an LGBTQ Pride Parade that was celebrated in Timor Leste.
