This research propose to analyze how social media practices take its role in diverse society using online ethnography. Using practice-based theory and the notion of affordances, I analyze how LGBTQ issues take turn between two different group of accounts, the pro LGBTQ and the anti LGBTQ. The data is collected using observation and in-depth interview. The first observation data is gathered in the period of March 2016 until July 2018 by looking at the pro LGBTQ and the anti LGBTQ Facebook accounts. Finally, the in-depth interview is being used to obtain focused and interactive information about the LGBTQ issues. The result shows, even though the issues discussed is the same but the discussions that occur can be very different between both groups. Furthermore, Facebook users can have different opinions, not only because they belong to different groups, but also because of their way of doing with their Facebook account.
