Queer Theory makes the claim that:
heterosexuality is the normal and most desirable way to be
the sexual categories and discourses we use are based upon true, underlying biological differences
deviant forms of masculinity are seen as more threatening to the gender order than deviant forms of femininity
all sexualities are pluralistic, fragmented and frequently reconstructed
all sexualities are pluralistic, fragmented and frequently reconstructed
The queer movement of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries suggests a blurring of the boundaries between sexual identities. The term ‘queer’ was originally used in a pejorative sense, but has been reclaimed by many non-heterosexual people as a matter of pride. Queer Theory challenges the notion that heterosexuality is normal or natural, or that everyone could be fitted neatly into one category or another. If sexual behaviour is merely a lifestyle choice, then sexual identities are fluid and people can move back and forth between them. 187-188
