Queer theology refers to the application of queer studies to theology. It emerged from the development of "queer theory" in the 1990s, which sought to explore a multiplicity of human sexualities and sexual identities. This included lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people along with other sexualities. In queer theology these concerns are linked to the nature of the divine and humankind's relationship with God. Mona West, in a pamphlet published by the Metropolitan Community Church, explains the use of Queer in the theological context by saying that:

abstract	Queer theology refers to the application of queer studies to theology. It emerged from the development of "queer theory" in the 1990s, which sought to explore a multiplicity of human sexualities and sexual identities. This included lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people along with other sexualities. In queer theology these concerns are linked to the nature of the divine and humankind's relationship with God. Many churches that have embraced Queer Theology (such as the Metropolitan Community Church) would ascribe a broad meaning to queer - including a broad range of those who choose to identify or ally themselves outside the constraints of the prevailing societal norms. While some Queer Theologians devote some time and energy to work that seeks to refute the more conservative teaching that homosexual desires are disordered and homosexual acts are sinful, increasingly the focus is moving away from the justification of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender desires and behavior and more towards the exploration of wider theological issues arising from these communities. Mona West, in a pamphlet published by the Metropolitan Community Church, explains the use of Queer in the theological context by saying that: The definition and use of the term Queer is not without controversy in the wider academic and social context.
