This book explores, through specific analysis of media
representations, personal interviews, and historical research, how
the digital environment perpetuates harmful and limiting
stereotypes of queerness. Siebler argues that heteronormativity has
co-opted queer representations, largely in order to sell goods,
surgeries, and lifestyles, reinforcing instead of disrupting the
masculine and feminine heterosexual binaries through capitalist
consumption. Learning Queer Identity in the Digital Age focuses on
different identity populations (gay, lesbian, transgender) and
examines the theories (queer, feminist, and media theories) in
conjunction with contemporary representations of each identity
group. In the twenty-first century, social media, dating sites,
social activist sites, and videos/films, are primary educators of
social identity. For gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and
transsexual peoples, these digital interactions help shape queer
identities and communities.
