Queer Theory: Garden of Eden

“In the garden, up on the tree

They saw the fruit, for you and me

And in the garden, they took a bite

Ashamed of the truth, ashamed of the light.

God made me and Adam and Steve

God made me, you've got to believe

God made me and Madam and Eve

God made me and he loves me”

“Perhaps everybody has a garden of Eden, I don't know; but they have scarcely seen their garden before they see the flaming sword. Then, perhaps, life only offers the choice of remembering the garden or forgetting it. Either, or: it takes strength to remember, it takes another kind of strength to forget, it takes a hero to do both.”

James Baldwin - Giovanni's Room (1959)
