Spectacles of control: Gendered violence across cultures
This forum brings together rich and diverse interdisciplinary scholarship examining how violence against women operates not only as physical harm but also as cultural communication that reinforces power, hierarchy, and control. Spanning historical and contemporary contexts, the forum explores how myths, artistic canons, media narratives, legal systems, wartime practices, and everyday discourses normalize or obscure gendered violence while simulta…
“Learn to Love, Go Heal: ” A Found Poetry Analysis of Wellness Among White Queer and Trans Latter-Day Saints
Messy queer rhetorics: Homonationalism and gay Asian American triad in Fire Island
Fire Island (2022) represents how three gay Asian American men (Noah, Howie, and Will) navigate tensions of whiteness, homonationalism, classism, and gay sexual desirability while on vacation with their friends. What begins as a narrative of gay Asian American men’s queer friendships becomes an intraracial romance of sticky rice – an Asian man dating another Asian man. Through use of a queer, Asian American rhetorical methodology informed by a qu…
Publishing the Unpublishable: Celebrating QED as a Living Platform for Queer Knowledge and Resistance
When people ask me about QED: A Journal in GLBTQ Worldmaking, my response is consistent. I say QED is a unique and invaluable platform for publishing scholarship that challenges taken-for-granted, dominant norms. By this, I mean queer scholarship that disrupts conventional ideas, beliefs, and values. I say so with genuine enthusiasm. This reflects my ongoing experience with the journal and its exceptional leadership under outgoing co-editors Char…
Reevaluating Gender Nonconformity: A Queer Feeling Femme, A Femme Feeling Queer
Postracial Queer Romance: A Close Reading of Anthony Bowens and Michael Pavano's Interracial Relationship in YouTube (and Beyond)
This essay is a close reading of YouTube's Michael & Anthony's video content in which mixed-race Black male pro wrestler Anthony Bowens and his white boyfriend Michael Pavano's romance is represented. The goal is to deploy queer of color critique to unpack how the interracial aspects of Bowens and Pavano's romance offer moments to question, critique, and reimagine the queer politics of interracial dating. Three themes emerge from this reading: re…
Sought out, kept out: Transantagonistic, anti-queer, and racist rhetoric in liberal academia
Emerging from our everyday experiences, we approach the rhetoric of transantagonism working with anti-queerness and racism as intersectional power structures that impact us as historically marginalized academics. We point to how we struggle in our institutions to build upon themes of antagonistic rhetoric meant to keep our minoritarian identities in “check,” while our presences also “check” university diversity quotas. Drawing on transgender, que…
Re-examining Communication and Media Practices in/across Queer Asia
Queer Asia, once an exigent idea, is now an established academic term in the field of queer studies in Asia. Since AsiaPacificQueer Network (2000–2008), an Australia-based consortium, triggered scholarly conversations about Queer Asia “to inscribe queer studies within Asian studies and to locate Asia, and the non-West, within cultural and media studies,”2 we have seen prolific academic concerns about Queer Asia emerge in various academic discipli…
Black and white, quare and queer: Reimagining interracial dating through the Sibling Rivalry podcast
Sibling Rivalry is a podcast hosted by Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change, where the two share their Black queer experiences. Drawing quare studies, this essay closely reads their discourse surrounding being queer and dating interracially. From this, three themes emerged: the imagined realities of interracial queer dating, the stigmatization of interracial dating and media representations of Black love. The two articulate being strongly influe…
Queer Relationalities, Impossible: The Politics of Homonationalism and Failure in Logo's Fire Island
This essay interrogates the representation of "hot mess" gay male castmates and their interpersonal relationships in LOGO's Fire Island's season 1. In particular, this essay identifies moments of media constructed queer failure through which the gay male castmates are framed, not to politicize, historicize, and contextualize their interpersonal relations as possibly emerging forms of queer relationalities. In so doing, this essay overall critique…
Racial privilege as a function of White supremacy and contextual advantages for Asian Americans
This article uses the discursive construction of “Asian privilege” as a vehicle to think through what constitutes racial privilege. For racial privilege to exist three conditions are required: (1) structural control; (2) racial invisibility to hide power; and (3) direct benefits of a structural racist system. For Asian Americans, the accrued “benefits” in some areas of social life, what we call contextual advantages are indirect, based on the sha…
Queerness, sounded: Autoethnographic aurality
Grounded in queer/quare autoethnography, this essay examines the value of sound that points to the social, the cultural, the political, and the historical through the subjectivities of the coauthors. By foregrounding each author’s sensory experiences of queerness, this essay highlights the ways that meanings of nonverbal communication are always already grounded in cultural contexts. In so doing, the overall goal of this essay is to disrupt commu…

What is “Queer Asia?”: A struggling pathway to globalizing Queer Studies in Communication
This essay exemplifies the author’s struggle with the concept of “queer Asia” as a case of the many pathways to globalize Queer Studies in Communication. During the demonstration, this essay pays attention to Audrey Yue’s proposal of three methodological conditions of queer Asia; denaturalizing Asia as an area; Asia as anchoring points; and centralizing LGBT (Lesbian–Gay–Bisexual–Transgender) research in/about Asia. The overall goal of this essay…

Racialized im/possibilities: Intersectional queer-of-color critique on Japaneseness in Netflix’s Queer Eye: We’re in Japan
This essay examines im/possibilities of Queer Eye: We’re in Japan! that represents the concept of Japaneseness. More precisely, this essay is concerned with how Queer Eye: We’re in Japan! reinserts U.S. exceptionalism while the Fab Five perform the makeovers of the four Japanese nominees (S1E1–S1E4). However, this essay also examines possibilities of Queer Eye: We’re in Japan! that transgress issues of gender, sexuality, and the body. In so doing…
Different Sameness: Queer Autoethnography and Coalition Politics
As a method, we use autoethnography to explore coalition politics from our positions in academia. We use autoethnography to examine how similar identity categories presume sameness and can lead to conflict within institutions. This autoethnography looks at how coalitional politics were learned, as well as how coalitional politics are practiced within the institutional spaces of the university and academic discipline. In particular, we examine how…

Queer Relationality as Family: Yas Fats! Yas Femmes! Yas Asians
In this essay, we, as queer subjects, share our embodied experiences to rearticulate and reimagine possible and impossible performances of queer relationality as family. We collaboratively pay careful and nuanced attention to our queer performative roles of becoming and being femmes as referring points of this critical queer engagement. To do so, we adapt methodological implications of autoethnography and intersectional reflexivity. Thereby, we t…
Queerness as Strategic Whiteness
This chapter demonstrates that invisibility of Asian American queerness is a possibility for the future. It contextualizes the concept of whiteness in the age of queer liberalism. The chapter showcases its critique, consisting of three specific themes: colorblindness, impossibility, and disruption. The discursive and material effects of queer liberalism mirror the US American's legacy of whiteness as property and privilege. The Andrew Christian d…
Critical Intercultural Mentoring and Allying
In this essay, we write about our collaborative experiences with faculty mentoring/allying relationships using autoethnography. From two different locations of academic faculty standing, we articulate that faculty mentoring/allying relationships can be sites of critical intercultural communication praxis in which differences informed by historical and existing power relations are productively discussed and acknowledged. However, these are easier …

Negotiating Sissyphobia: A Critical/Interpretive Analysis of One “Femme” Gay Asian Body in the Heteronormative World
A selection of literature suggests that gay Asian men are considered unattractive and undesirable, because they are socially positioned as “feminine” in the gendered hierarchy of White centered hegemonic masculinity among gay men. However, the author questions why the discourse of oppression is the only way to interpret performative aspects of gay Asian cultural identity constructions in this multicultural and globalized era. In identifying with …

Queer Intercultural Relationality: An Autoethnography of Asian–Black (Dis)Connections in White Gay America
For this critical intercultural inquiry, I as an Asian/Japanese transnational cisgendered gay man write my autoethnography of queer (or non-heteronormative) Asian–Black (dis)connections. Specifically, I challenge, interrogate, and problematize my queer intercultural production of desire and attraction as I engage in my critical autoethnographic interrogation of dialogues with five Asian/Japanese transnational gay men who have previously engaged i…

Gay Rapping and Possibilities: A Quare Reading of “Throw that Boy P***y”
In this essay, we explore the hegemonic structures that reproduce the differences embedded in the material realities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people of color. We read Fly Young Red's intersectional performance of “Throw that Boy P***y” as an embodied text that seeks to disrupt unchallenged and taken-for-granted norms, values, and beliefs to rearticulate and reimagine the potentiality of (black) queer world-making. We argue…

Uncultural” Asian Americans in ABC’s Dr. Ken
In this essay, we interrogate the ways in which the uncultural masks the cultural in ABC’s Dr. Ken. We analyze Dr. Ken’s first season, through the conceptual lens of strategic whiteness, to identify and critique the ambiguous and nuanced positions of Asian Americans. By repeatedly demonstrating the simultaneous functions of Asian Americans both as almost Whites and as (nonthreatening) Others, Dr. Ken resecures invisible territories of whiteness a…
Race-ing Queerness: Normative Intimacies in Logo’s DTLA
We argue that the representations of sex, love, and relationships in the television series Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) mirrors existing racialized, gendered, sexualized, and classed hierarchies of masculinities among queer men. DTLA attempts to project a more inclusive ideology through its focus on typically marginalized groups but fails to offer a space for resisting or subverting those hierarchies. For that reason, we complicate DTLA’s represen…

Negotiating Hegemonic Masculinity: The Rhetorical Strategy of “Straight-Acting” among Gay Men
This study examines the rhetoric of straight-acting among gay men by analyzing the website entitled, Straight-Acting.com. The straight-acting rhetoric emerges because some gay men want to achieve hegemonic masculinity to overcome gay effeminate images. Also, gay effeminate men are unattractive to straight-acting gay men, because they violate normative gender-performative expression valued by the “straight-acting” men. This attitude is called, “si…
