Talk:queer marriage

RFD discussion: September 2017–February 2018
Entered as a synonym of "gay marriage". It can mean that, but I think only insofar as "gay" is a hyponym of "queer", i.e. all gay marriages are queer but some queer marriages are not gay. Consider: "Heterosexual marriage is sanctified through its likeness to the queer marriage of Christ and church" (Gerard Loughlin, Queer Theology); "Jupiter's theft of his wife's wedding jewels is nothing if not queer or counternormative" (Moncrief and McPherson, Performing Pedagogy in Early Modern England); "Why ... are there so many possible queer marriages in Shakespeare's plays? (Examples include Orlando entering a 'mock-marriage' with Rosalind-as-Ganymede, and Orsino marrying the still-dressed-as-a-boy Viola.)" (Traub, The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Embodiment). Romanophile has a habit of taking common phrases, replacing a word with something vaguely similar, and entering the result as a synonym (e.g. "to be truthful", "woman enough", "sex tool"). Sometimes this works, sometimes not so much. Equinox ◑ 02:09, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
 * How about WT:RFVE (trying to attest the definition) or WT:RFC (changing the definition to include other queers not just homosexuals)? -80.133.101.161 09:01, 26 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. I would add that e.g. a bisexual woman marrying a man would also be a queer relationship, and so arguably a queer marriage, but not a gay marriage. In other words, the definition is wrong and the term seems to be quite SOP. (Of course, Talk:gay marriage is arguably also a bit SOPpy.) - -sche (discuss) 18:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
