After reading the article “queering art on display at Quest” (Dec. 17), about the display at Quest University, I’m still left wondering why art needs to have a label that reflects a gender.
Thank you to the lesbians, and gays, bisexuals, trans, queers, intersex and asexual people (LGBTQIA) for their contributions to the art world but, why the caveat?
It would seem absurd to have “red-headed art” or “left-handed art,” or “vegetarian” or “wheelchair art,” wouldn’t it?
Let’s let art stand on its own. If we like it, we like it. Don’t give it all away before we get there.
