In class we described “queer desire ” as queer folks wanting to be accepted regardless of sexual orientation and without being questioned. Queer folks don't want to feel ashamed for feeing how they do, people shouldn't feel guilty about loving who they love. Queer folks don't have it as easy as straight folks, queer folks are haunted by the feeling of failing. So having achieving queer desire is the goal for oneself, feeling proud of who you are as a person. Feeling free to love who you want.

Queer desire is wanting to be accepted without feeling the need to explain ourselves. Why is it our fault that society set rules out that women have to wear dresses and like pink, while men have to wear pants and like the color blue? Why is it that women have to be with men?

For example in Got Game? we discussed how Khudejha achieved her queer desire in the end because all though she went to the party in hopes of getting laid, she left the party feeling fulfilled that she met another queer woman.

Queer people want to achieve their queer desire to be their authentic self. Queer people want to be able to express themselves however they want, however they feel most comfortable. To some, that may mean stepping outside of societal norms. People can change their names, their pronounces, how they choose to dress, whether they want to wear makeup or not. One person themselves can know who they truly are.

Queer desire is when folks are interested in the actual people for who they are, not necessarily bodies for just intimacy, therefore queer folks look for companionship/family. Chosen family is when you find a group of people to surround yourself with whom you feel connected with and supported. Finding your chosen family results in wanting acceptance from our loved ones but we know if its not welcome it's not needed. We have our chosen family behind us ready to love and care for us even if our blood family won't.Having a chosen family can be so important when you are discovering yourself. Whenever you feel low, you know you can always count on them to be there for you and support you. When you are happy, you know they will be there to celebrate with you. Queer desire is in having other queer folks around you who understand you.

I personally would say I have not fully reached my queer desire. I can say I have come out as bisexual to a few friends and one of my close cousins, but I have not worked up the courage to come out to my whole family. Although at the same time, I don't feel the need to have to come out. If my parents were to ask about my sexual orientation I wouldn't lie to them. I do try to dress outside of societal norms at times, nothing to drastic but enough for my mom to ask why I like some of the close I do. I can say I enjoy doing my makeup but I also enough wearing baggier clothing and bulkier jackets that have a touch of masculinity to it.
