Talk:Queering

The page has some good beginning information defining queering as a reclaimed verb that can be used to view history or literary works through a queer lens. I think it would be good to edit/build upon some of the information in the introduction paragraphs, and maybe shift around the example of King Richard I. I think it would also be helpful to include an origin section about how it came to be used as a verb for analyzing things like texts and histories; queering history includes not just looking at it from a queer lens, but also looking for missing information and ignored histories. I am also interested in creating a section that focuses on examples of what things have been queered in the sense of sexuality or gender, as well as other uses of the act of queering that are not specifically about sexuality, like queering the idea of the family.

Since the intro section here doesn't have any citations and I have no real way of verifying all of the information with just the three sources listed here, I plan on removing it and adding a new introduction section on queering. I also plan to add a section about literature, as well as other more broad things that can be queered, such as time and theology. At815913 (talk) 01:11, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I replaced the first paragraph but didn't delete it. I also added a new section titled "Origins and uses" because I want to discuss the history of the term, and to do that I feel it's important to mention how the term queer came out. I know that it focuses a little too much on the term queer itself, and I'm working on fixing that in my sandbox to make it more focused on the actual term queering. I still have some more in this section to add, and I also plan on adding a section titled "Uses in Literature" to give examples of ways that different literary works have been and can be queered. I'm not sure what do about the other information in the introduction section because it isn't necessarily bad, it just doesn't have any citations. I don't want to delete all of it because that seems a little unfair (I'm going to put back the other two sources that were originally there) but it shouldn't be there as is then I can. If anyone has any suggestions or comments on the edits I'm making please feel free to help improve the page! At815913 (talk) 02:17, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
