This book engages critically with the foundational work of queer theorists while mapping a path toward a distinctly sociological approach to queer studies. It is the first volume to bring together theorists and empirical researchers from the social sciences within a field traditionally dominated by the humanities.
By combining classic sociological essays that shaped lesbian, gay, and bisexual studies with more recent original research, the book applies sociological methods to the discursive frameworks of queer theory. The result is a sustained and productive dialogue between sociology and queer theory, expanding both fields in the process.
