In light of their plight, my plight, I have no right to give a passive, disinterested, voiceless treatise. Rather, this project is fueled by my personal passion for a subject with which I have an intimate connection: the plight of persons whose sexual orientation or whose behavior and appearance do not conform to traditional gender norms. Though both are worthy points of entrance, they are not the focus of my writing. I want to be clear: I am not a disinterested observer writing for the sake of supporting some lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered, or queer (LGBTQ) friend, nor is this project motivated in light of the HIV/AIDS pandemic or any desire on my part to argue against the continued stereotypes that it is a gay disease. ¹ Indeed, queer ideology supports my long-held suspicion that sexual identity may not be as fixed as my generation was taught by society and the Church.
To say that I am queer is not only my self-identity it is also my active engagement against heteronormativity. I am a Black queer lesbian womanist scholar and Christian minister.
