【摘要】性别和性行为在美国是有争议的政治问题，随着性别平等几十年的进步，传统的性别主流叙事重新兴起。为了解当今的LGBTQ+青年如何在多媒体背景下驾驭这种叙事环境，我们对20名LGBTQ+青少年（16-19岁）进行了社交媒体巡回采访，记录了他们引导我们浏览其三大公共社交媒体平台上重要帖子的视听数据。通过反身性主题分析，我们发现我们的参与者使用三种关键的导航策略参与社交媒体平台上的叙事，同时参与长期的主流叙事（例如，传统性别角色）和当代替代叙事（例如，性别非二元） ：寻求和共享信息，创建酷儿社区，并就可见性和持久性做出选择。这些策略对参与者的意义和目的，无论是个人还是集体，都无法在三个关键的导航背景下得到充分理解：传统的性别叙事、白人自由社区背景和平台可供性。我们的结果表明，当代LGBTQ+青少年的叙事参与深受个人多媒体环境、身份交叉点和权力结构的影响，这些因素塑造了个人身份表达和集体文化转型的可能性。

[Abstract] Gender and sexuality are contentious political issues in the US, with a resurgence of traditional master narratives for gender following decades of advances for gender equality. To understand how today’s LGBTQ+ youth navigate this narrative landscape in a polymedia context, we conducted social media tour interviews with 20 LGBTQ+ adolescents (aged 16–19), recording audiovisual data as they guided us through important posts on their top three public social media platforms. Through reflexive thematic analysis, we found that our participants were engaging with both longstanding master narratives (e.g., traditional gender roles) and contemporary alternative narratives (e.g., gender as non-binary) using three key navigational strategies for engaging with narratives on social media platforms: seeking and sharing information, creating queer community, and making choices about visibility and permanence. The meaning and purpose of these strategies for participants, both individually and collectively, could not be fully understood apart from three key navigational contexts: the traditional gender narrative, white liberal community context, and platform affordances. Our results demonstrate that narrative engagement for contemporary LGBTQ+ adolescents is deeply influenced by personal polymedia environments, identity intersections, and power structures shaping possibilities for individual identity expression and collective cultural transformation.
