The core goals of the Queer Theory and LGBT Studies in Religion Consultation are to foster the application of queer theory and gender theory to the study of religion; to encourage comparative study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues in religion; and to support the growth of bisexual studies and transgender studies in the field. The consultation actively seeks to explore the connections between queer theory in religion and complementary or overlapping fields of inquiry such as postcolonial theory, critical race theory, disability theory, feminist theory, and cultural studies, among others.
