Against “Whatever” *

Abstract

Weeks’s (2011) article on gender-inclusive housing explained, “The roommate you choose can be gay or straight or whatever.” This provoked a spoken-word response to Weeks and a call for seeing drag as a curricular technology. The piece invokes a drag performance the author performed in 2012, used as a teaching performance that queered the historic treatment and criticized the contemporary hypocrisy of the Catholic Church’s stance towards LGBTQ+ people.
