Judith Butler -The bankrupcy of the politics of identity

We have to think coalitionally to get things done. It doesn't matter with whom we sleep with. The queer movement is anti institutional with a critique to normalization: one doesn't have to get normal to become legitimate.

The understanding of the term queer is that desires that one doesn't have to present an identity card before entering a meeting. Heterosexuals can join the queer movement, bisexuals can join the queer movement. Queer is not being lesbian, queer is not being gay. It is an argument against lesbian specificity. Queer is an argument against certain normativity.
