Queer Rhetorical Agency

SUMMARY:
In their article “Queer Rhetorical Agency: Questioning Narratives of Heteronormativity” David L. Wallace and Jonathan Alexander discuss how the homosexual community is treated.They talk about how you shouldn't be discriminated against for being queer. They argue that you people should accept who you are and that you shouldn't hide in your identity.


CONNECTIONS:
This article reminded me of an article by Harriet Malinowitz called “Queer Texts, Queer Contexts. Her article also discusses the LGBT discourse community. They both talk about how they shouldn't be put into their own discourse community for homosexuals. They should be able to join other discourse communities without being judged.

OPINIONS:
I thought that this article was kind of hard to follow and understand. Parts of it were interesting though. I didn't like how they were comparing gays to not a normal family.
