Queer Cinema/Theory within a Horror

Queer cinema is a term that I used for films that show or discuss gay or lesbian experiences. Films that show stereotypical roles of gay and lesbian characters is what is meant by queer theory. However they tend not to show their actual lives and just focus on them as the character. These types of films are still influencing the audiences and public as they are still lead to believe gay and lesbians act like these stereotypical characters in real life. Films are considered to be queer if they have not actually acknowledged homosexuality rather they have just suggested or emended it into the plot.
Stereotypical Homosexual Terms
Queen - A very flamboyant, effeminate gay man who can be considered a drama queen at times.
Drag Queen - Someone who dresses up as a woman but is still a man.
Sissie - A camp person who is not very masculine and is easily scared.
Butch - A women who is the masculine character within a lesbian relationship. She is very tom boy like.
Femme - The more female character within a lesbian relationship. 
Lipstick Lesbian - Slang term used to describe a lesbian woman who exhibits extreme feminine gender attitudes.
Soft Butch - A women who exhibits some stereotypical butch lesbian traits without fitting into the masculine stereotypes associated with butch lesbians.

Silence of the Lambs – Jame Gumb a.k.a Buffalo Bill
This character is both bisexual and transsexual. He dresses up as a woman and has been known to have relationships with men. Due to the fact that he skins the bodies of women so he can have his own female skin suit you could argue that he is also transgender as he is not comfortable being in his own skin. He has only one friend that he treats with respect and show love and affection to and that is his pet dog called Precious. This shows a stereotypical homosexual. The film Silence of the Lambs shows homosexual behaviour in other characters and not just in Jame Gumb. According to the book “Post-Theory: Reconstructing Film Studies By David Bordwell” Hannibal Lecter’s “fussy mannerisms” make him out to be portrayed as a “queen”
