Quotes[edit]

  • Any U. S. politics, no matter how coalitional its compass, that identifies itself in terms of sexual orientation only (e.g., queer nation or lesbian and gay studies for example) will be a white-centered and dominated politics, since only white people in this society can afford to see their race as unmarked, as an irrelevant category of analysis.
    • Keith Clark, "Are we Family? Pedagogy and the Race for Queerness," in Black Queer Studies: A Critical Anthology (Duke University Press: 2005), p. 269
