	Queer theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Queer theory began as a branch of philosophical investigations of what is known as third wave feminism and gay and lesbian studies.
		Queer Theory is a paring of words coined by Teresa de Lauretis during a "working conference on theorizing lesbian and gay sexualities that was held at the University of California, Santa Cruz in February 1990."
		Queer theory, unlike most feminist theory and gay and lesbian studies, includes a wide array of non-normative sexualities and sexual practices in its list of identities.

	Queer Theory
		Queer theory's debunking of stable sexes, genders and sexualities develops out of a specifically lesbian and gay reworking of the post-structuralist figuring of identity as a constellation of multiple and unstable positions.
		Queer is not always seen, however, as an acceptable elaboration of or shorthand for 'lesbian and gay'.
		For queer is, in part, a response to perceived limitations in the liberationist and identity-conscious politics of the gay and lesbian feminist movements.

	glbtq >> social sciences >> Queer Nation
		Queer Nation's style drew on the urgency felt in the AIDS activist community about the mounting epidemic and the paucity of meaningful governmental response, and was inspired largely by the attention-grabbing direct-action tactics of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP).
		Use of the term "queer" was never universally embraced by all segments of the constituencies that the concept of "queerness" could potentially represent; indeed, the term often evoked intense hostility.
		Gay, lesbian, and queer studies are separate but related fields of cultural inquiry that attempt to establish the centrality of gender and sexuality within a particular area of investigation.

	queer. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		A reclaimed word is a word that was formerly used solely as a slur but that has been semantically overturned by members of the maligned group, who use it as a term of defiant pride.
		For decades queer was used solely as a derogatory adjective for gays and lesbians, but in the 1980s the term began to be used by gay and lesbian activists as a term of self-identification.
		Similarly, other reclaimed words are usually offensive to the in-group when used by outsiders, so extreme caution must be taken concerning their use when one is not a member of the group.

	GreenCine \| Queer Cinema
		Such characters are less noticeable today, replaced by a third queer presence, or actually two related ones: the dying homosexual of the AIDS era and the healthy, well-adjusted gay or lesbian of the New Queer Cinema and beyond.
		Just as drag queens radicalized legions of queers at the Stonewall Riots, so the sissy, in his quieter way, was the revolutionary of 1930s cinema, brazenly countering the hetero hero's often foolish attempts to get laid (or at least steal a kiss) with an arsenal of arched eyebrows, rolling eyes and finger-wagging.
		Crazy queers were the driving force in films like the 1957 The Strange One (with Ben Gazzara as a crypto-homo sadist at a military school), Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) and The Sergeant (1968).

	Smith College - Program for the Study of Women and Gender
		Queer Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary field whose goal is to analyze antinormative sexual identities, performances, discourses and representations in order ultimately to destabilize the notion of normative sexuality and gender.

		In the queer studies concentration students are encouraged to consider the historical and theoretical foundations of queer studies as well as the potential consequences (epistemological and political) of a queer studies critique.

	‘Queer’ label prompts reflection, change \| The University Daily Kansan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		To stay in accordance with our style guide, the editors who worked Sunday evening held a discussion and decided to change the term “homosexuals” to “queers” in the article “Protesters return to campus.” The reporter was not responsible for its use.
		The rule in our style guide states, “Although the term ‘queer’ was offensive in the past, it is a term in transition.
		The Web site for the KU organization Queers and Allies poses the same question I was researching: “Why the word ‘queer?’” Because “queer” is an all-inclusive, one-syllable word, because it pushes the envelope and because it continues to gain acceptance in political and academic context, according to the site.

	Josie Cotton - Johnny are you Queer? - Lyrics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The synth work that marked the music of the day is kept to a minimum, replaced by deftly written and played 60's-era guitar work.
		And while her biggest hit "Johnny Are You Queer" is a pretty dopey song, most of the tracks on her Convertible Music LP pretty accurately mimic 60's pop.
		Of course, the opinions of this listener in 1998 can't change the fact that Josie Cotton couldn't make a dent in the charts after "Johny Are You Queer," nor did she have much success with her follow-up album.

		For decades queer was used solely as a derogatory adjective for gays and lesbians, but in the 1980s the term began to be used by gay and lesbian activists as a term of self-identification.
		Nevertheless, a sizable percentage of people to whom this term might apply still hold queer to be a hateful insult, and its use by heterosexuals is often considered offensive.
		Similarly, other reclaimed words are usually offensive to the in-group when used by outsiders, so extreme caution must be taken concerning their use when one is not a member of the group.

	Queer Play
		Thanks in part to the advent of queer theory in cultural studies, crossdressing has in recent years been the focus of a considerable body of critical work, especially in studies of the theater of the English Renaissance.
		From a variety of theoretical perspectives (post-Foucaultian analysis of the discursive construction of sexuality, the poetics and politics of representation, materialist feminism, queer theory, etc.) contemporary scholars have sought to track the elusive figure of the transvestite.
		Both the collective and subjective, the normative and the transgressive, must be explored to approach a balanced understanding of the meaning of these plays for their audience.

	"Queer as Folk" (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After being so impressed with the original British version of Queer As Folk, I was sceptical when I learned that the US had begun their interpretation of the series.
		Overall, Queer As Folk is probably one of the best shows on television right now, regardless of whatever country it comes from.
		It's definitely one that is not to be missed, and if a quite literally staggering series about the loves and lives of a very special group of gay people is what your after, then look no further.
