Reactg to a perceived weakeng of the 1970s homosexual liberatn and lbian femist movements, the queer movement was ially also fuelled by renewed homophobia followg the begng of the AIDS epimic. The term was ed by Tera De Lretis her troductory say to the "Queer Theory: Lbian and Gay Sexuali" issue (1991) of the femist journal Differenc ( Lretis 1991) to scribe a radil rensirg of sexualy outsi the prevailg dichotomy of the heterosexual matrix, reference to Judh Butler’s term.
Emergg parallel to queer activism, but also spired by femism and reactg to genr studi and gay and lbian studi, philosophers, lerary theorists and historians such as Butler (1990), Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick (1990, 1985), and David Halper (Halper 1990), part spired by Michel Fouult’s work on sexualy (Fouult 1976-1984), opened up a new way of thkg about genr and sexual intifitn and performance, beyond inti (unrstood as tegori of dividuals) and acts ( this se sexual practic). It clus, among others, gay, lbian, bisexual, and transgenr people; normalizg inty tegori and movg away om radil activist movements.
Thkg about how genr and sexualy play a role the analysis of the built environment is however far om homogeneo.

The earlit approach, is exemplified by Manuel Castells’ much-ced study of the Castro district San Francis (Castells 1983) or Aaron Betsky’s well-known Queer Space: Archecture and Same-Sex Dire (1997), a study of spac ed and signed by (mostly) gay men. Others foc on specific buildgs, for example the discsn of gay or lbian bars by Barbara Weightman (1980) or Maxe Wolfe (1992) or the analysis of ho by Alice Friedman (1998), Timothy Rohan (1999) or Annmarie Adams (2010b). This is also how “queer space” is often ed mastream archectural publitns, as monstrated for example Archecture magaze’s choice of photographs focg on ers to document a 2002 feature on the San Francis Lbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgenr Communy Center (Ward 2002, 72-81), assumg that rears will associate the prence of ers perceived as gay, lbian, bisexual or trans (through their clothg styl and physil appearance) wh a “queer archecture”.
