Boring stuff unless you like to keep up with the academic/activist core of queer theory. Found it watching Karlyn Borysenko's watchalong but she wastes too much time getting into pointless arguments with her chat.

• 00:00 Intro
• 04:05 Origin of the word queer
• 05:25 Contemporary definitions
• 11:00 Queer theory vs identity politics
• 14:40 Queer as the opposite of identity politics (LMAO at this)
• 24:00 Judith Butler just became a they/them(!)
• 36:07 Audience question: "Queer is normalized?" (A paradox when Raytheon flies the pride flag.)
• 37:55 Queer is failure
• 38:30 Audience question: "If we all agree that heteronormativity is bad and evil, then maybe queer should be oppositional to that." (Is this a rallying cry after the queer paradox is laid out and the idea that "queer is failure" demoralized everyone?)
• 40:15 Quotes from and praises the book "Cruising Utopia" which reads like a spiritual text for cultists (Marxist utopians.) The more he goes on about it, the more it becomes a romantic ode to eternal socialist revolution, or holy war.
• 43:00 Quotes about queer nihilism (Basically showing us the communist and anarchist sides of queer ideology.)
• 46:17 Summary

At the end of it all, I don't know how this would help anyone in a debate. I'll credit the guy for his clarity, a rare thing in queer activism, but mostly I think it just exposes more cult-like idiocy.
