Discuss and explain the three main areas of queer theory.

1.Desire: Queer theory wants to open up the concept and reality of desire as wide as possible.It is not solely concerned with marginalized sexualities.Queer theory aims to disrupt categories of normal sexuality and acceptable sexuality and allow instead for sexuality's diverse and numerous expressions.
2.Language: Queer theory is concerned with how language is related to power.It is impossible to disentangle language from knowledge since language is the vehicle of knowledge.Queer theorists ask us to consider the fact that language is not transparent.Rather,queer theorists argue that it is value-laden as opposed to being a neutral description of some reality.
3.Identity: Not some coherent entity that emerges from within our "souls," making us who we are.Rather,identity is socially produced and is fluid and multiple.Our understanding of others and even of ourselves is always partial and contextual.Identity is constructed through social relations and through discourses around gender (man versus woman)and sexuality (straight versus gay)and thus there are no core identities.Queer theorists use this idea as a way to reveal and renegotiate the social inequalities in society.That is,if everyone's identity is constructed,then no one person's identity (including one's sexuality)should be the standard by which another's identity is measured.One's identity is no more normal than,say,the comparison of paintings wherein one is considered normal compared with another one-they are simply different.
