Created in the 1990s as a counter or solution to tranditional gender roles. Queer theory revolves around the theory of Gender Identity introduced by behavioral psychologist John Money and Identity politics as a whole. Queer theory explores how gender, sex and sexual orientation interact and are unique to each individual. It uses labels or identities to describe these interactions and attempts to create a more accurate description of individuals and their social roles.
Some people can't fit in the female or male box so queer theory's solution is a unique box for everyone.

Get the Queer Theory mug.
The theory that hates on gender roles and gender identity. The "queer" or "strange" people are awesome. Also, heteronormativity is really bad because society has developed a "norm" that they are superior, so the idea that we need to prevent death or extinction is bad because it ignores that gays and lesbians cannot reproduce. A lot of Queer Theory's credentials go Lee Edelman.
I read the Queer Theory kritik in debate today.

Oh what is that?

Why straight people suck and gender roles are Satan.

Jiberish spread by morons and idiots
Dr. Dyke and Dr. Bendover earned their PhDs in Queer and Feminist theories. They applied to all the liberal colleges and universities in the United States. They got professorship jobs at Sarah Lawrence College, and they produced an endless horde of welfare queens with huge student loans. Their welfare queens screamed for a government bail out.
