Dear Eric,
You might want to look at the Spring 2008 issue of the Museums and
Social Issues journal, the theme of which was "Where is Queer?" There
are some more theoretical and research-oriented articles and also some
specific examples of institutions working to engage and understand this
community.
You'll find the table of contents and some other information by
following this link: http://www.lcoastpress.com/journal_issue.php?id=105
Best,
Stefania
