I thank Ashley Moore (2021) for taking the time to read my article and raise his concerns. I am also grateful for having the chance to clarify some points that can possibly generate similar concerns to other readers. Indeed, I was originally puzzled when I read Moore’s interpreting of my arguments as an attempt to erase queer lives from ELT. It is of great importance for me to clarify that erasing queer lives from ELT was what prompted me to write this article and argue for a diversity-focused approach that ensures no identity is erased. Moore (2021) raised three concerns with my article. He assumed that I encouraged publishers and ELT professionals to stop working towards making ELT materials more inclusive, that I claimed that forming romantic relationships is in itself a characteristic of homonormativity, and that I argued that portrayals of drag queens are not radical because drag has become part of mainstream culture. Indeed, the last point is accurately identified and well interpreted by Moore. I did suggest that a particular form of drag has entered mainstream culture and, therefore, there is not much that is radical about it, especially when it is presented to Western audiences/learners in the global North. I believe this point, though, is of little importance to ELT practitioners. For this reason, I will not address it further here, but I invite Moore to refer to Heller’s (2020) work on drag. With this response, though, I would like to address Moore’s (2021) first two points of concern in the hope that I further clarify my argument so that no other reader reaches similar conclusions.

对摩尔的回应：挑战酷儿擦除，而不是擦除它

感谢 Ashley Moore (2021) 花时间阅读我的文章并提出他的担忧。我也很感激有机会澄清一些可能引起其他读者类似担忧的观点。事实上，当我读到摩尔将我的论点解释为试图从 ELT 中抹去酷儿生活时，我最初感到困惑。澄清从 ELT 中抹去酷儿生活是促使我写这篇文章并主张以多样性为中心的方法，以确保不会抹去任何身份的原因，这对我来说非常重要。Moore (2021) 在我的文章中提出了三个问题。他认为我鼓励出版商和 ELT 专业人士停止努力使 ELT 材料更具包容性，我声称形成浪漫关系本身就是同质性的特征，我认为对变装皇后的描绘并不激进，因为变装已经成为主流文化的一部分。事实上，最后一点被摩尔准确地识别和很好地解释了。我确实建议一种特殊形式的变装已经进入主流文化，因此，它并没有太多激进的地方，尤其是当它呈现给全球北方的西方观众/学习者时。不过，我相信这一点对 ELT 从业者来说并不重要。出于这个原因，我不会在这里进一步讨论它，但我邀请 Moore 参考 Heller (2020) 关于阻力的工作。不过，通过这个回应，我想解决 Moore (2021) 的前两个关注点，希望我进一步澄清我的论点，以免其他读者得出类似的结论。
