Mi gran boda griega en salsa homofóbica. El discurso de odio en torno al matrimonio igualitario en las redes sociales de Grecia

This paper examines homophobic comments on Facebook and X (Twitter) regarding the same-
sex marriage of Greek gay politician Stefanos Kasselakis. Following on previous research on

hate speech in digitally-mediated environments and on the ‘moral turn’ to impoliteness, these
comments are analysed as verbal aggressions triggered by an offending event that subverts
the heterosexist moral order still prevalent in Modern Greek society. In addition to
highlighting the different strategies used in both social networks, the suggested analysis
unveils the discursive regularities of anti-LGBTQ speech, aimed at legitimising homophobia
and normalizing the discrimination of sexual and gender diversity.
