The thesis aims to analyze the Thai BL-drama Only Friends using critical discourse analysis asdeveloped by Norman Fairclough. The study is a queer hybridization of Judith Butler's theory ofperformativity and Thailand's sex/gender system as described by Peter A. Jackson, examining how theBL-formula portrayed in the series either reflects or contradicts Thailand's social practices and whetherthe series diverges from the BL-genre itself. The results show that Only Friends presents a reality wherequeer relationships are the norm, but it does so while balancing walking back and forward on theheterosexual norms of masculinity and femininity that exist in Thailand's society. The characters in OnlyFriends breaks away from the traditional BL-genre by challenging the discursive frameworks of thegenre and mirrors Thailand's social relational practices more closely, though it does so in a way thatdoesn't fully free it from the genre's conventions.
