Resumo
The gay closet has been considered a dispositif of sexuality control in scholarship in diverse
researching areas. In this research, we intend to study it from a language studies perspective, more
specifically, from the field of study of the metapragmatics of the language in use. For that, through
a digital ethnographic approach, we chose a YouTube humour channel directed to the gay public,
named Põe na Roda. It was selected all videos in which the gay closet appeared implicitly or
explicitly published during the two first years of the channel, from April 04th of 2014 to April 24th
of 2016. We can assert the gay closet is an important element in the entextualization processes
which occur in the select videos. It presents metapragmatic functions and is central in
metapragmatic discourses articulated to gender, and to the hierarchized binary “outside X inside”.
The channel makes use of diverse semiotic resources to give support to indexicalization processes
and metapragmatic discourses and evaluations, which try to present the gay closet as an uniform
and simple set. Such strategies indicate a series of historical accruals that, besides helping to
organize practices related to gay performances and identities, can be associated with determined
forms of homosexual subjectivation, at the same time in which they reveal certain communicable
cartographies about these processes of subjectivation and about what is possible to communicate
concerning the gay closet in this specific context The argumentative line is, therefore, that
indexicality and metapragmatic construal in these evaluations work to produce and communicate
modes of being in the language and in sexuality. In this sense, production of gays subjectivities,
rather, is, simultaneously, presupposed and projected in relations involving both being in the gay
closet and coming out.
