In this paper we analyze the orders of indexicality mobilized in Hiago's identity performance of race, gender and sexuality. We take into account Queer Theories and web theorizing as a space of coexistence of discourse and actors. This piece of research is based on virtual ethnography (HINE, 2000 e 2005) and data were generated in a chat between one of the researchers and Hiago. The analytical framework is based on Goffman's notion of footing and frame ([1979]1998) and on Blommaert´s orders of indexicality (2006 e 2010).We observe that some specific orders of indexicality were mobilized by Hiago's multiple contradictory discursive performances.
