Week 7: Queer Theory

 

    

    The most fascinating piece of information I learned while researching queer theory was the concept of "queer time" It's important because everyone goes at their own pace, and does things on their own time. This also ties into family dynamics, such who you live with and how you identify a relationship. A few examples that come to me are two men in a relationship with a child that aren't married, or couples that are polyamorous. The idea of having a timeline and hetero-family dynamics are disintegrating with the next generation, and it will affect straight people as well. An example would be a boyfriend and girlfriend wanting to have a kid and not get married. There shouldn't be any judgement for that, just like for those of the queer community.
