	My article encourages rethinking of LGBT studies legacy, a discipline which does not exist in the Polish university, yet it received a doubtful reputation. The popular narrative opposes contemporary lesbian and gay studies to queer theory – LGBT studies is claimed to be transhistorical, essentialist and anachronical. In my paper I argue that that approach is mistaken and I provide for positive arguments in favour of a critical return to the lesbian and gay scholarship. These four arguments are as following: interrelations with cultural studies; interest in sexuality and operations of the market; understanding and celebration of popular culture; creative tensions between LGBT studies and queer theory.},
