the realization of the influence of sexual orientation found in Love Simon movie The study was conducted using a critical discourse analysis approach. The data of this study were taken from the transcript of Love Simon. The data of this study were the character’s utterances and author’s narration that appeared in Love Simon that can categorize into kinds of sexual orientation secrecy based on romantic secrecy. The analysis was taken by identifying , classifying, and the data. The findings indicated 6 kinds of romantic secrecy of sexual orientation that were flouted by the characters and author’s narration in Love Simon. Based on the research findings, the most frequent utterances were the break-up distress. This proves that the sexual orientation secrecy gives a negative influence on the main character in this movie.  \n© 2022 JELS and the Authors-Published by JELS.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nQueer theory is a discourse analysis exercise (Motschenbacher and Stegu, 2013) . It emphasized the value of utterances and the power of language (Giffney,2007) . Giffney added that queer theory is concerned with how identity is formed through generally prejudiced discourse against people whose identities are being constructed. DePalma and Cullen (2011) explained that queer theory is a type of discourse analysis that investigates how texts are composed by investigating and changing the text's numerous assumptions, uncovering the text's internal conflicts, andrelying on ignored characteristics to provoke a common identity.  \n240  \nThe major goal of this research is to use critical queer discourse analysis to look atthe movie's sexual orientation secrecy using Foster and Campbell’s theory. The researcher chose a movie over a book because it can display content much more quickly. Furthermore, movies are more visible, visual, and easier to recall than equivalent literary works in terms of reaching and informing a broad audience.  \nSecrecy is the act of concealing information from people or groups who do not have a \"need to know\" while revealing it to others. The term \"secrecy\" has been defined by some experts. According to Wismeijer (2011), secrecy is the deliberate and active act of withholding information from others selectively. Confidentiality is a common social occurrence, and it is expected everywhere (Costas & Grey, 2016) . People maintain secrets because they are afraid of the social consequences of disclosing their secrets, primarily to avoid being judged by others (Flett, 2012) .  \nWhen the conversation turns to personal matters, sexual orientation is frequently brought up as an issue of identity. Sexual orientation is the typical secret that people wish to keep according to Itzhaky and Kissil (2015) . Smith, Kippax, and Chapple (2008) mentioned that individuals who are homosexual are driven into an interplay of secrecy, The majority of these homosexuals hide their identities and practice homosexuality in secret, while some try to accept the fact that they are different and fight for their rights to live their lives a","cbCailkruVxJNFmK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailkruVxJNFmK","pdf",381628,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Critical Discourse Analysis\n## Secrecy","[{\"question\":\"What is the study’s primary objective?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate sexual orientation secrecy in Love Simon through main character utterances and the author’s narration, and to examine the influence realized by these disclosures.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses transcript data from Love Simon and applies a critical discourse analysis approach to identify, classify, and analyze categories of sexual orientation secrecy related to romantic secrecy.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the findings reveal about romantic secrecy?\",\"answer\":\"The analysis finds six kinds of romantic secrecy of sexual orientation flouted by both characters and narration, with “break-up distress” occurring most frequently.\"}]","A Critical Queer Discourse Analysis of Sexual Orientation Secrecy Represented in “Love Simon” | PDF",35]
