Ethics

Queer ethics is both a way to 'queer' or critique dominant moral frameworks, as well as a way to think about whether there is a particular queer ethics, or a moral framework, that can or does unite non-heterosexual or non-cisgender people or thought. The ways that queer people are sexual, and the ways that they choose to conduct their lives often challenges dominant norms while simultaneously enacting new ones. Many thinkers argue that queer ethics is an ethics of non-subordination, which thinks about non-dominating relationality and is inherently connected to other ethical and political movements concerned with marginality.
