Black in the Rainbow: "Quaring" the Black Gay Male Student Experience at Historically Black Universities

Abstract

The term “queer ” was historically used as a homophobic slur against lesbians and gay men (Jagose, 1996). During the U.S. gay liberation movement, the identity as a queer came to mean individuals who rejected assimilation as a way to reach gay liberation (Carlson, 1998; Jagose, 1996). Queer signifies an individual “that stands outside the dominant cultural codes; queer opposes sex-policing, gender policing, heteronormativity, and assimilationist politics” (Morris, 1998, p. 276).\t\n Queers challenge society to change as a way to reach “gay ” liberation (Dilley, 2005; Jagose, 1996). As a theory, queer theory seeks to disrupt binarism and normalcy
