From "The queering of Leviticus, or how a rabbi permits gay sex" by Greg Tepper, The Times of Israel, 2014-12-04:

"Queering the text," [Rabbi Debra Kolodny, Executive Director of Nehirim] says, "looks for the chidush [a new idea or way of understanding a text], the innovation, the insight that's never been imagined before because the lens we're looking for today never existed before."

Kolodny says contemporary liberal Judaism is at an historical moment in which it can combine its knowledge of history, sociology and sexuality to thousands of years of Jewish tradition to reveal "something that couldn’t be revealed even 20 years ago because we didn't have the experience under our belt."

"Queering the text" refers to any number of paths for looking at scripture and is "the lens through which we look at our text," says Kolodny.

[Don't read the comments. Unless you want to make a drinking game out of counting how many times commenters cite the New Testament to try to tell a rabbi her theology is wrong. Oy.]
