The Word 'Queer'
Category: Society & Culture
Duration: 00:24:31
Publish Date: 2019-02-18 11:00:00
Description:

Strange or obtuse; a stinging homophobic slur; a radical political rejection of normativity; a broad term encompassing every and any variation on sexual orientation and gender identity: the word 'queer' has a multifarious past and complicated present. This is just a fraction of it.
