User:SatyrTN/Queer PoMo

I'm not fully versant in Queer Theory, but as I understand it, Dev has just expressed the "PoMo" view of Queer culture. If we look back a few years, we see that "pre-Stonewall", almost everything to do with Queer culture was hidden and underground. In the 70s, Qc started to come above ground. As such, everything with any Queer content was controversial (see Soap (TV series) as an example). In the 80s, the community decided to pursue an "in your face" attitude (see ACT UP, Castro Street, etc). In the 90s, main-stream tried to co-opt us (see Lesbian chic, etc). In the Oughts, we've taken the attitude that it has to be "gay enough", since so much of our culture has been co-opted (see Metrosexual, etc.)

There's a thesis in there. Actually, it's probably already been written. Ah well.
