Talk:Queer horror

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Definition of Queer

In order to prevent this from becoming one and the same as the horror genre, a definition of queer needs to be added. If books or films don't fit this definition, they should not be added to the bibliography or filmography.

'Queer' content needs to include on-screen, same-sex sexual or affectional desire, disclosure of alternative sexual/affectional orientation through words or action or a theme that is specific to GLBT folks.

This does NOT include the following:

  • same-sex rape or child abuse
  • people acting or dressing cross-gender for the purpose of amusement only
  • content considered 'homo-erotic'. Well built guys parading around in their underwear is NOT queer.

[edit] Definition of Horror

Horror content can include items that fall into the horror genre, items that fall into closely related genres (for example: dark fantasy), or items that fall into other genres but include a character type associated with the horror genre (vampires, werewolves, monsters, ghosts) Qvamp 19:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
