In this article, I explore the potential in producing queerer intersectional family scholarship for the advancement of theory. I offer an analysis of the ways queer theory enriches family scholarship while remaining critical of how its inattention to race as an identity category has limited its potential and scholarly theorizing across difference. I highlight queer Latinx family research to illustrate some of the nuance that is missing in scholarship that centers only a White middle‐class subject. I suggest that scholars take note of how queer feminists of color have approached building theory in the flesh. I offer that queerer intersectional family scholarship should occur from the borderlands. Doing so furthers an important goal in queerer family scholarship: to better attend to lived experience and develop a more intersectional theory.
