Quare theory was created by E. Patrick Johnson in 2001. Quare theory was created to promote the voices of queer people of color.
Quare theory is similar to "queer theory"; they are both forms of "critical theory" that focus on the study and theories of queer identities and actions.[1][2] E. Patrick Johnson believed that within queer theory there was an erasure or minimization of queer people of colors voices. Johnson created Quare theory to uplift the voices that queer theory historically hadn't. With Queer theory there is "a significant theoretical gap" meaning queer theorists often silence or lessen the voices of queer people of color.[3]
