It is quite astounding that many people who claim to be “Queer” actually have no idea what the term actually means, or when asked, be able to define it for themselves.
Definitional clarity is important, it allows for honest conversation and the exchange of ideas.
Here is what “Queer” is defined as:
The above, is quoted from David Halperin, one of the founders of Queer Theory. This isn’t an uncharitable “conservative” definition, but rather straight from the one of the preeminent queer theorist’s mouth.
So, what I suspect is that many people just are part of the “fringe” of the queer cult, and want to identify with the trapping of “queerness” but don’t actually have a clue as to what actually being “queer” means.
“Queer Theory is one of the most destructive ideas ever to have been loosed onto our society from the halls of academia, as we have documented in the recent book The Queering of the American Child. But do you know the definition of “queer”? Do you know that it’s not possible to be queer, only to act queer? Do you know it has almost nothing to do with gay people? Do you know it’s virtually guaranteed by definition to encourage pedophilia? All this and more is available in the original definition of “queer” as it is used in Queer Theory. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he reads and explains the original definition of “queer” from David Halperin’s 1995 book Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography.”
