Are safe spaces for the exploration of queer sexuality, which is, frankly, any and all sexuality, necessary to the proliferation of queer ideas?

I need to better define the confessional power play in order to better understand how Butler's ideas work in this-- destructing the universal power from the inside through some sort of restructuring. I think the best we can do is acknowledge the bind of self-expression and move on writing from our own perspectives knowing it is impure but sincere because every expression of self is limited by the language that determines it.

Can't work too much. Going to look up more intimate-voiced poets. I hate intellectual dead-ends.
