This paper advocates for a queer perspective in political ecology. Understandingheterossexism as part of the oppressive network of relations that organizes the human-natureconnections, Sandilands proposes another way to view nature-human-sexuality relations. Shetells us about the beginning of the environmental movement in North America and the differentheteronormative ideologies that connect natural spaces to heterossexuality while seeinghomosexuality as related to an urban degenerescence. She seeks inspiration in LGBT literatureand history to confront this opposition of nature and homossexuality to propose a queer ecology.The most inspirational words come from Zita Grover, whose perspective in ecology marked bythe painful experience of being affected by AIDS is very sensitive, being able to draw metaphoricalconnections between AIDS and other ecological concepts.Downloads
