Queer opacity is a concept that values the unknowability or indeterminacy of queer identities, resisting the demand to be fully understood or made legible within dominant social norms. Queer opacity is not the transparency of being "out" of the closet nor is it the concealment of being "in". It is instead a practice of queer living that resists confession, fixed identity categories, and public visibility as obligatory elements of LGBTQ identity. People who practiced queer opacity are Focault, Andy Warhol and Roland Barthes who never explicitly "came out". Aesthetic expression can be but is not limited to the communication of emotions, ideas, and experiences through sensory, artistic, or stylized forms, ranging from art and literature to personal style
