Thanks to the growth of feminism, queer studies have been able to rethink feminism and later revolutionize it into new methods in categorizing genders into a more broader spectrum to fit more under just gay or lesbian labels. As queer studies can include gay or lesbian studies, it also mentions about how to seriously and respectfully treat queer acts, life, and thought in order to go beyond binary opposites that targets a bigger group.   ]]> 2021-05-12 21:43:22 UTC https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1519292737 Video yunnihwang https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1520557025 2021-05-13 10:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1520557025 Definition yunnihwang https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1520578181 A simple concept that takes queer life, acts, and thought seriously and treating them respectfully.

Identity and desire is a major component when discussing about sexual/gender specifications or certain relationships that include some sort of erotic exchange. ]]> 2021-05-13 15:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1521340028 The Theory of Queer Studies can also apply to any type of literary text. yunnihwang https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1521459102 ~ Romance or any type of exchange between the interactions with different people regardless of gender or sexual orientation. ]]> 2021-05-13 15:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1521459102 Questions a theorist could ask... yunnihwang https://padlet.com/yunnihwang/pz60xz2rf09tv8j5/wish/1521477193 ~ What is each person's identity?
