Although the concept of the public sphere defined by Jürgen Habermas (1962) has largely been connected to the political sciences, it can also be applied to information and communication sciences (Dacheux 2008, p. 222; Miege 2010, p. 8), offering an idealized methodology for examining the discourse of those who contribute to the media. Despite this, Habermas’ conceptualization of the bourgeois public sphere is often criticized for its disconnection to minorities or the disempowered, such as failing to accommodate those of diverse sexuality, women and the proletariat. This chapter addresses these issues, through examining the online usage of social media by LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) youth.
