It's a cultural theory which, for many people (myself not included) , is closely tied to the concepts of post-scructuralism. I guess the Wikipedia article would be a good start? I personally got into the topic through Nikki Sullivan's book
A Critical Introduction to Queer Theory by Nikki Sullivan is pretty decent
I think How to Do Things With Words by JL Austin is a fun read. It's really a lingusitics book, but very relevant, because it quite clearly outlines the topic of performativity, which is crucial to understanding queer theory.
Margaret Mead Made Me Gay by Esther Newton is another good sort of intro. Its kind of a memoir of how her critical theory developed and as you read along you see what ideas are woven in, how they intersected with politics and history and social change at the time.
Is this the kind of stuff you meant? I have more up my sleeve if you want it.
There you go, you're welcome!
