::You're probably lucky enough to have gone to a conservative enough college (or gone to college long enough ago) that you wouldn't have heard of queer theory. It's a revisionist approach to literature -- the professors do it to have an edgy and new approach, but all it does is facilitate a reading of homosexual themes into places where they don't belong, nor were they intended by the authors. Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Jane Austen, etc, all these great world literary figures didn't intend any homosexual themes in their literary works, yet these queer theorists are purposefully misinterpreting the texts to have these themes. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 03:06, 15 November 2008 (EST)
