Queer theory has had something to say about sex, but until recently it has had almost nothing to say about love. Love has seemed too intimately bound up with institutions and discourses of the “normal,” too deeply embedded in standard narratives of romance, to be available for “queering.” Whereas sex, as queers know very well, is easy to stigmatize (or to celebrate) as kinky, transgressive, or perverse, love is typically represented as lying at the heart of normal life, thoroughly at home in conventional social structures such as marriage and the nuclear family. Indeed, one of love’s most important social functions nowadays is to promote the acceptability of customary forms of personal life by endowing them with affective value and imbuing them with a look and feel of intrinsic normality.

酷爱

酷儿理论对性有一些说法，但直到最近它几乎没有谈及爱情。爱情似乎与“正常”的制度和话语联系得太紧密，太深植于标准的浪漫叙事中，无法用于“酷儿”。酷儿们都知道，性很容易被污名化（或庆祝）为淫乱、越轨或变态，而爱通常被描述为处于正常生活的核心，在婚姻和婚姻等传统社会结构中完全在家中。核心家庭。事实上，爱在当今最重要的社会功能之一是通过赋予它们情感价值并赋予它们内在正常的外观和感觉来促进人们对习惯形式的个人生活的接受。
