Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A word that was once commonly understood to mean strange, odd, unusual, abnormal, or sick, and was routinely applied to lesbians and gay men as a term of abuse, now intimates possibilities so complex and rarified that entire volumes are devoted to spelling them out. Even to define queer, people now think, it to limit its potential, its magical power to usher in a new age of sexual radicalism and fluid gender possibilities.
