of queer people undeniably makes an appearance in media‚ advertisements‚ and daily life‚ but is it undeserved? Queer people exist as a minority group that have a different relationship with sex and gender than their heterosexual‚ cisgender counterparts. The only differentiating factor between the two is sexuality. Sexual orientation is‚ by default‚ an inherently sexual portion of an individual’s identity which directly results in the presentation of queer people as hypersexual. When queer people

Queer theology has developed in a period of increased acceptance of diversity in Western culture. While homophobia remains a relevant factor in queer theology‚ hostility and intolerance is increasingly being pushed to the margins. In this context the development of theologies of liberation has afforded queer approaches a voice. This must be tempered with the reality of inclusiveness‚ because the greater the recognition‚ the greater its effect on oppressing those that continue to sit at its margins

Sedgwick (Epistemology of the Closet) and Judith Butler (Gender Trouble) made significant contributions to the ever burgeoning field of queer studies with theories about sexuality as performance.

The performance of gender is described as an enactment
