20 years after the emergence of "queer" as a political concept we would like to discuss the radical potential of queer theory and activism within different spatial, cultural and socio-political contexts. Along with its appearance in the US academia -- or maybe even before -- "queer" also turned up as a grass-roots movement in response to the homophobic political rhetoric surrounding the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. As a successful appropriation of a once derogatory term, "queer" is not only closely connected to the Anglo-American language but also to its socio-political context.
