i thought focault was the founder of queer theory. i dont exactly like him but he was a genius who created such a foundational work that all of western civilization's universities have no choice but to use him because his work is indispensable when it comes to understanding and studying all of history. But then on the side, he took 5 minutes of his time to create queer theory. His main work was "the archaeology of knowledge"..which is used as a guide to understand history. I've never heard of judith butler but im guessing she's some sort of post modernist.
