The article proposed that American nuclear policy should be informed by "queer theory." Sneha Nair, who currently serves as a special assistant at the National Nuclear Security Administration, is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of America's vast nuclear weapons arsenal.
According to Newsweek, Nair's controversial article was published in June 2023 by a magazine that focuses on the threats posed by emerging technologies. The article has gained renewed attention in the wake of President Biden's recent update to America's Nuclear Employment Guidance, which has shifted focus towards the threat from China. Beijing has expressed serious concerns about this development.

The U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile has been under increased scrutiny amidst escalating tensions with nuclear-armed rivals Russia and China. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reports that Russia currently possesses 4,380 nuclear weapons, compared to the U.S.'s 3,708 and China's 500. However, it is believed that Beijing is rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, with U.S. military estimates suggesting it could exceed 1,000 nuclear weapons by 2030.

Nair was a nuclear research expert at the Stimson Center, a Washington, D.C-based think tank, when she co-authored the article with Louis Reitmann, a research associate at the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation. In their piece, the duo argued that queer theory, defined as a field of study examining sex- and gender-based norms, could "help change how nuclear practitioners, experts, and the public think about nuclear weapons."

They further contended that "Queer theory also identifies how the nuclear weapons discourse is gendered: Nuclear deterrence is associated with 'rationality' and 'security,' while disarmament and justice for nuclear weapon victims are coded as 'emotion' and a lack of understanding of the 'real' mechanics of security." The authors criticized what they perceived as an excessive focus on "the abstract idea of national security" over individual rights.

Nair and Reitmann's article also posed questions such as "Who created these ideas? How are they being upheld? Whose interests do they serve? And whose experiences are being excluded?" They expressed a positive view of nuclear disarmament, stating that "Queer theory helps us not only see the bad of a world with nuclear weapons, but also imagine the good of a world without them."

The authors envisioned a world where resources freed up by nuclear disarmament could be used to increase people's safety and well-being through health care, social housing, and other means. The Department of Energy and Sneha Nair were contacted for comment on this matter.

Earlier this month, House Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Mike Turner expressed concerns that Iran could declare itself a nuclear weapons state "by the end of the year." The U.S. is legally obliged to pursue global nuclear disarmament under the treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, signed by 190 nations, including the U.S., Russia, and China.

Under the new START treaty with Russia, both nations have agreed to reduce strategic warheads to no more than 1,500 each. This agreement is set to expire in 2026. The appointment of a nuclear policy expert with such unconventional views raises questions about the future direction of American nuclear policy and its potential implications for national security.
