NOTE

Queer Identity Defined by Opposition

Michel Foucault, a highly influential yet controversial figure in philosophy, is associated with a deep exploration of norms and deviance. His legacy is critical in understanding queer theory, particularly through David Halpern's definition of 'queer.' Unlike gay identity, which typically stems from a positive affirmation of self, queer identity exists in contrast to societal norms. It holds no intrinsic association with a stable identity or truth; rather, it identifies itself through opposition to what is considered normal or legitimate. This definition emphasizes the fluid nature of queer identity, which resists categorization and thrives in its divergence from established societal standards.
