ABSTRACT
Queer relationality betrays the lies of positivist naturalism by embracing erotic diversity and fluid gender formations, rejecting the (il)logical dualisms that heteropatriarchal relations create and through which they authorize only a limited set of relations as "natural". It is also very important that the people not redeem promiscuity for queer relations by evacuating its association with sex and bawdiness. As they have said, the link between fidelity and promiscuity allows the reader to disentangle both from their heteropatriarchal chains and lifts queer relationality up to the bone fide of healthy, pleasurable, attentive intimacies that welcome change and are unconcerned about racial, ethnic, or gendered purity. The question is rather how queer relations can resolve the deadly inner structure of heteronormativity that distorts every human relation shaped and labeled by it. Although queer relations are not always easy relations, they do tend to emphasize expressive freedom and open tables of welcome and support.
