What Is Queer? Theology after Identity

Gerard Loughlin

gerard.loughlin{at}durham.ac.uk

This article discusses various uses of `queer' in theology, from the queerness of theology itself to queer as insult, and as insult turned. But it is chiefly concerned with queer as what David Halperin calls an `identity without an essence'. As such, queer is a movement, a deployment, which unsettles all attempts to fix theology—and God—within the contingent lineaments of heteropatriarchy. Queer is what all theology should be.

Key Words: Queer theory • gender identity • David Halperin
