That sounds like you think there is only ONE social consensus of narrative that everyone understands alike. There is not just one. There are many. They are regional, racial, gender-specific, and class-based. The allowable signifiers of queerness in one particular high school might be very different from those just 10 miles away, or just 10 years ago, or between different culture groups sitting 10 feet apart.
