There are several areas of study devoted to the literature, history, and culture of particular groups: African American, Native American, and so on. Individually, these studies do not benefit from a variety of discussion participants. However, if the conversations about these topics are brought together, these groups can help one another become stronger.

The assumption that relationships will be straight is uprooted by Queer Theory. Relationships are not dictated by sex.

Who says this is true? Are we born with these ideas? Are we taught these from birth and are simply acting these ideas our? Queer Theorists would say: Society says its "true," but it actually is not. No, we are not born with these ideas and yes we are taught these from birth.

An Introduction to Judith Butler’s Gender Troubles - A Macat Literature Analysis

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Gender is "performative." It's based on what we do. It is not part of our nature; we simply act it out. So definitions of masculinity and femininity are constructed, rather than something that comes from within us. Watch Macat's short video for a great introduction to Judith Butler's Gender Trouble, one of the most important literature books ever written.

Mary Klages, Literary Theory: A Guide for the Perplexed

# data[].attributes.body
I think Mary Klages does a great job exposes how weak and artificial gender roles are in the section of her Queer Theory chapter titled "Flexible Sexuality." She writes about "gender bending" showing that over-time, even in some of our lifetimes, gender roles have bent--that men wearing earrings, women with tattoos are great examples of how gender signifiers shift daily. If thirty years ago, a human wearing an earring meant that they were a female, and it no longer means it, are gender-roles strong enough to be considered a stable way of categorizing people?

This video does a great job outlining Judith Butler's ideas and theories about gender: how it is socially constructed, how gender is a performance, ect.

Associations with "Queer"
Queer generally makes people think of many things: "Homosexual, Odd, Gay" different, strange, peculiar, etc. (Klages 111).

Where do these connotations come from, and why do they lean towards the negative?

Merriam-Webster defines queer as either "worthless or counterfeit" when speaking in terms of money and queer money, and also defines queer as "questionable or suspicious. Webster also defines "queer" as "differing in some odd way from what is usual," "mildly insane" and "not quite well." (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queer)

While this isn't the most "scholarly" of sources, considering it is an unofficial webpage making a mash-up that includes quotes from Judith Butler, I think the creator of this video does a fairly effective job at connecting what Butler is saying to the argument about gay-couples adopting children.

While this is not entirely "scholarly," I think the points made by Butler here are reinforced fairly well by the clips about gay couples adopting children.
