Queer time is different from hetero time, the theorists say. Jack Halberstam reminds us that we do not “outgrow” certain things (like, say, clubbing) the way heteros do.* We do not have a sacred timeline; to be queer is to inherently step outside the hetero trajectory that society trains us to go down from the time we are born. Our spaces—our bars, our parties, our protests—are often multigenerational, and the same goes for our friendships and relationships.
