Yup, there's Queer Theory in "academia". But people who think they're queer are still homosexual, bisexual, or trans. Being "queer" doesn't actually set them apart, they're still lacking the same rights and face the same struggles as LGBT people who don't identify as the Q, and it's those things that should be focussed on rather than expanding the term.
