Nope, Queer Studies has always been full of paedo-apologists. They’re using the language and cover of child protection now, but they want paedophilia to be seen as just another sexuality.

Dr Allyn Walker, an assistant professor in sociology and criminal justice at Virginia’s Old Dominion University, sparked intense criticism online and protests on campus after suggesting it is not immoral to be sexually attracted to minors.

Oh yeah queer theory. Crazy shit... I've never seen the appeal of (critical subject) studies.

The entirety of postmodernist philosophy is infected by them. A who's-who of the most prominent of them signed the "remove French age of consent laws" letter in the 70's.

These philosophies directly influenced Critical studies (using the capital C specifically there), of which queer theory is a subset. It's all tinged by those philosophical roots and only maintains whatever facade allows them to be taken seriously.
