Proposes that contemporary US queer culture is gothic at its core. Using interdisciplinary cultural studies to examine the gothicism in queer art, literature, and thought, Westengard argues that a queer culture has emerged that challenges and responds to traumatic marginalization by creating a distinctly gothic aesthetic.
