In the 1970s-1990s, the American photographer Nan Goldin took a series of photographs which reproduce the stereotypes of the heterosexual romance, yet also subvert gender norms. She documented the transgender and drag subcultures and granted recognition to those who were obliterated by mainstream society. This contribution confronts gender and queer studies, the sociology of homosexuality and transgender history with Goldin‘s photographs, and highlights how the photographer destabilizes gender paradigms and interrogates the definitions of masculinity and femininity. Goldin promotes the proliferation of gender expressions and celebrates what she calls ―gender euphoria.
