First, an Introduction

I am taking a queer class at Kennesaw University. The whole title is Queer Pop Culture and one of our assignments is to create a notebook full of queer things in pop culture. But because I am very creative I'm making a blog instead!

Let me clear up queerness as I'm studying it. It's not neccesarrily gayness, although it does privilege gayness. Queerness is that which is disruptive and defies the norm. So, for example, HiFructose magazine would be queer. The art it represents is very avante garde, it doesn't fall with the normal rules of art and sculpture.

So anything that defies normal rules of society could be considered queer. It's really fun, actually. So this blog is part class project, part homage to anything Queer I see in my day to day life.
