Ohhh yes. Feminist/queer theorists LOVE to use queer as a verb. Like, queering nationalism, or "that discourse is too heteronormative; I'm going to go queer it."
(for instance, RFSLUngdom sent the brochure out to a bunch of different organizations, and one group which serves the visually impaired sent it back wondering if it could be printed larger or without images because their members couldn't read it)
Heh. Sigh. I'm occasionally amused -- but mostly abashed -- when I realize how easily-focused one becomes on PARTICULAR issues. E.g., my organization is looking for a drop spot for orders through our winter buying club; an eagerly-involved student suggested Hillel, the Jewish students' group building on UPenn's campus. In some ways it's a perfect option, because it's large and accessible for both delivery and pickup. But...guess what? A lot of PORK gets ordered through this buying club, so that solution may not work. It scares me, when I think about how easily I can overlook other issues besides the one I'm thinking about.
