What Do We Mean By Queer Space?

When we think about queer space, we may first be drawn to the architectural metaphors long intertwined with non-heterosexual identity: the closet and the washroom. The very idea of the closet is rife with contrasts, invoking both interior and exterior, storage and room, pride and repression, homo- and heterosexuality. Although it wasn’t until the 1960s that the term “coming out of the closet” entered the cultural lexicon, the closet itself is foundational to queer narratives and how they’ve been told.
