Queer is a basic umbrella term that is used for either sexuality or gender. Sometimes it is used to help someone figure out what they're feeling (same-sex feelings for example) and they're not sure how to describe themselves. Sometimes it is used for people who prefer not to use labels, and all of this is perfectly okay.

To be queer is to be a sexuality that differs from heterosexual in any way or having a gender identity different than cisgender (although this is usually referred to as genderqueer)

to be queer is another word for gay/lesbian, being queer is nothing to be ashamed of and should not be seen as a bad thing. if you have any further questions about this, message me and i’ll try my best to support and answer all your questions you may have.

To be queer means to be a part of the lgbt+ community. Most people who identify as queer don’t have a label that fits them specificily.

Being queer can mean lots of things for lots of people! A lot of time people identify as queer because they don’t find a specific label that fits or they just don’t want to define themselves. Both are good and valid reasons.

Queer is an umbrella term for a person who belongs in the LGBT+ community, or isn't heterosexual and/or cisgender. Originally meaning "strange" or "peculiar", queer came to be used pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century.

To me, being queer means to be different. A person doesn’t have to be in the LGBTQ+ community to identify as queer.

to me being queer is being LGBTQ+. well, more specifically like more than one gender sexually/romantically. it doesn’t always mean the same to everyone.

For me, being a non-binary ace/aro, being able to identify my differences and just being able to proudly accept who I am on a daily basis is what it means to be queer.
