Queerness is not a static identity but rather a result of information and norms that circulate to constantly produce new areas of deviance from contingent discursive formations that continually seek to eliminate that which escapes them
No matter how liberal the 1ac may attempt to be, there will always be the production of new lines of deviancy in which beings are subject to violence
