Intro

On abolishing queer theory.

Ran Heilbrunn talks to Lee Jones and Alex Hochuli about his chapter, "Abolish Queer Theory!" in the edited collection Inversion: Gay Life after the Homosexual.

• What is queer theory and why should it be abolished?

• What is the meaning behind the shift in terms: invert, to homosexual, to gay, to queer?

• How does queer theory politicise sex and why is this bad?

• Do our libidos care about social inclusion? Can they?

• Is identity okay but identity politics bad?
