Summary/Abstract: This paper attempts to exam weather “queer“ can be perceived as yet another generalized, but still particular identity (that doesn’t really makes a difference in the context of standard division of homo/bi/heterosexuality and (so called) identity politics), and offer another option in the frame of politics of universalism - “identity without identity“ as a mode of transgressing “queer“ (Badiou). It will also investigate possibilities of transforming standard activist politics into “universalized politics“ by criticizing the lack of reflection on “class struggle“ - whether it is possible or not, examining if that sort of politics has been irrecoverably integrated into liberal capitalism; connect the notion of minority identities (including “gay identity“) with war in Bosnia (D’ Emilio) and point out it thus represents a dead-end to notion of “queer“; and shad light upon the vanishing social and “lifestyle“ difference between homosexuality and heterosexuality (Bech) and thus entering “post-queer“ social future where sexual identities are deteritorialised into particular sexual practices (Deleuze) and deconstructed to the level of no identity-divisional importance.
