Resumo

This research contends that the rhetorical strategies employed in the Right's anti-gay battles have significant political implications. The Right defines queers as pathological behavior. Further, the Right's discursive attacks on queers simultaneously undermine the logic and legitimacy of civil rights. Analysis of discourse from the 1992 anti-gay campaign in Oregon shows that queer responses depend on liberal political theory, defend the status quo and do not de-pathologize queer sex; they ultimately re-enforce the Right's agenda.
