From identity politics and gender roles to privilege and exclusion Queer explores how we came to view sex gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; how these ideas get tangled up with our culture and our understanding of biology psychology and sexology; and how these views have been disputed and challenged. Along the way we look at key landmarks which shift our perspective of what's 'normal - Alfred Kinsey's view of sexuality as a spectrum Judith Butler's view of gendered behaviour as a performance the play Wicked or moments in Casino Royale when we're invited to view James Bond with the kind of desiring gaze usually directed at female bodies in mainstream media.
