What does the term queer mean ?

L – “queer” was used (and sometimes still is) used to demean or disrespect LGBT people . But increasingly, people use the word with pride to identify themselves. So don’t call someone “fag” unless you know they’re okay with it. The best thing to do is to ask which labels people prefer.

The definition of Queer is “different”. Nowadays, however, it is generally used to describe an LGBT+ member.https://giphy.com/embed/cyQXvx6OoSDTjukfLJ

If a person is queer, it either means they are not heterosexual or they do not conform to the gender binary. Some people may choose to label their sexuality as simply “queer” if they do not wish to use a more specific label.

Technically, that means this :

1) An umbrella term sometimes used by LGBTQIA + people to refer to the entire LGBT community .

2) An alternative that some people use to “queer” the idea of labels and categories such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, etc. Similar to the concept of genderqueer. It is important to note that the word queer is an internal group term and a word that may be considered offensive to some people, depending on their generation, location and relationship to the word. Personally, I think it’s important to ask someone what they mean by queer if they identify as queer to make sure you don’t misunderstand them.

So… which orientations are not queer ?

The definition of queer can vary, so it’s a bit difficult to determine who isn’t queer. Sexuality being a spectrum, this makes the use of the term polarizing for bisexual and heteroflexible people. Generally, a person who is heterosexual, heteroromantic, cisgender, and monogamous is not considered queer , but there is an exception.
