| Abstract
|
:
|
In this study, I investigate the ways in which Facebook users, through public comments they post on an LGBTQ+ organization’s page, multimodally construct diverse interpretations and meanings of an event. Bringing together Bateson’s (1972) and Goffman’s (1974) interactional understandings of frame with Entman’s (1993) conception of frame as a sense of perceived reality made salient to the self and others, I demonstrate the ways in which interactants use multimodal communicative strategies on Facebook to construct frames of interpretation to problematize an aspect of the 2019 Dyke March in Washington, DC, and ultimately, the organization itself. Days ahead of the 2019 DC Dyke March, organizers banned the Jewish pride flag, claiming that the flag, with the Star of David in the center of a rainbow flag, is reminiscent of the Israeli flag, and is thus a symbol of “violent nationalism” against their queer values of anti-Zionism. This caused a large outcry from both local and national queer (and) Jewish communities, as many claimed the ban was anti-Semitic.
