Queer Theory is an academic field that explores and challenges the social norms surrounding gender and sexuality. It emerged in the early 1990s, drawing from various disciplines such as literary criticism, gender studies, and LGBTQ+ studies. The theory questions the binary understanding of gender and sexuality, advocating for a more fluid and inclusive perspective. At its core, Queer Theory seeks to deconstruct traditional ideas about identity and relationships. It examines how societal norms shape our understanding of what is considered "normal" or "deviant," encouraging individuals to embrace diverse expressions of identity beyond conventional categories.
