Queer studies

Queer studies, sexual diversity studies, or LGBT studies is the study of issues relating to sexual orientation and gender identity usually focusing on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex people and cultures.〔() lists these names and similar acronyms at various academic departments.〕
Originally centered on LGBT history and literary theory, the field has expanded to include the academic study of issues raised in biology, sociology, anthropology, the history of science, philosophy, psychology, sexology, political science, ethics, and other fields by an examination of the identity, lives, history, and perception of queer people. Marianne LaFrance, the former chair of the Larry Kramer Initiative for Lesbian and Gay Studies at Yale University, says, "Now we're asking not just 'What causes homosexuality?' (also ) 'What causes heterosexuality?' and 'Why is sexuality so central in some people's perspective?'"〔

Queer studies is not the same as queer theory, an analytical viewpoint within queer studies (centered on literary studies and philosophy) that challenges the putatively "socially constructed" categories of sexual identity.〔
==Background==
Though a new discipline, a growing number of colleges have begun offering academic programs related to sex, sexuality, and sexual orientation.〔 There are currently over 40 certificate and degree granting programs with at least five institutions in the United States offering an undergraduate major; a growing number of similar courses are offered in countries other than the United States. In 2003, the most substantial programs at City College of San Francisco, the City University of New York, University of California, Berkeley, the University of Chicago, SUNY Purchase College and New York University.〔 Other colleges that provide degrees in the subject include Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Yale University, University of California, Los Angeles, Sarah Lawrence College, University of Maryland, DePaul University, St. Andrews University, California State University Fullerton, California State University Northridge, Portland State University, and University of Toronto. Some colleges provide minors such as Syracuse University, Mills College, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, University of Louisville, University of North Texas, and Grand Valley State University, and a certificate, such as the Five Colleges Consortium in Western Massachusetts.〔()〕
Professor Kevin Floyd has argued that the formative arguments for Marxism and those that have been the basis for queer theory should be reformulated to examine the dissociation of sexuality from gender at the beginning of the twentieth century in terms of reification, and to claim that this dissociation is one aspect of a larger dynamic of social "reification" enforced by capitalism.
