Eco-queer theory

Eco-queer theory explores the interconnectedness of environmental issues and LGBTQ+ perspectives, challenging traditional ideas of nature, gender, and sexuality. It critiques societal norms that marginalize both queer identities and ecological health, emphasizing that binaries like "natural/unnatural" or "male/female" are socially constructed. By highlighting the fluidity of nature and identity, eco-queer theory advocates for understanding diversity and intersectionality, promoting inclusive approaches to environmental activism and social justice. It encourages recognizing how societal structures influence both ecological degradation and perceptions of gender and sexuality, fostering a more holistic, inclusive view of the world.
