It is an addition to literary theory in the 1980s. Only partially based on gay , lesbian and bisexuality bisexual issues, a queer literary interpretation is largely concerned with sexual identity, especially closeted hidden sexual identity. Other closeted aspects of works are often examined, as well. There are opposing views of queer literary theory. One view is that sexual identity is fixed , and may be discerned by careful study. The opposing view is that sexual identity is both fluid and socially constructed, and thus there is no absolute identity. Questions that a queer literary interpretation might attempt to answer What does the work tell the reader about the author s sexual identity? Conversely, how might the author s sexual identity affect different aspects of work? What doesn t the author tell the reader about the sexual identities of his or her characters? How this omission significant? What aspects of the work has the author silenced or closeted, in order to gain the approval of society? A traditional work of literature can be queered by applying this type of interpretation. Category Literary criticism Category Queer Category Queer theory ... more details

Mark s role in season four was as a romantic straight man. He was first partnered with Cindy McCauliff Lisa Edelstein , a closeted transsexual . Ally and Richard Fish both knew about Cindy being transsexual, but were forbidden to reveal her secret to Mark, since they had learned about it in a attorney client privilege privileged conversation. Mark is later partnered with Elaine, the firm s receptionist, although Elaine s unabashed lust for other men, particularly Jackson Duper Taye Diggs was a stumbling block for this relationship, which finally ended after Elaine had a one night stand with a former lover.
