Queer nukes

SUMMARY

A nuclear policy "expert," Sneha Nair, appointed under the Biden administration, previously advocated for "queering nuclear weapons" in a June 2023 article. She argues that incorporating "queer theory" can reshape American nuclear policy by prioritizing individual rights over national security.

Nair works at the National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees U.S. nuclear safety. The article emphasizes that the U.S. nuclear stockpile faces increasing scrutiny due to tensions with Russia and China, which are expanding their arsenals.
