What does it mean to be Queer?

I find that the best explanation for this comes from the colors of the Pride flag. Red - Red symbolizes life. The queer community is bursting at the seams with life and joy. Orange - Orange represents healing. In a homophobic society, there is plenty of room for healing and becoming an ally. Yellow - Yellow represents sunlight. It sends a message of being yourself, rather than hiding in the shadows. Green - Green represents nature, and that what we are is perfectly natural. Blue - Blue repr sents serenity, and that we wish to live peacefully alongside our straight counterparts. Purple - Purple represents spirit. That even if you put us down, we will overcome.

To be queer keans you identify as anything ither than Straight, but you don't have a definitive label! This makes you part of the LGBT+ community!

To not define yourself as the normal gender or sexuality standards. Initially queer meant weird therefore it was transferred to the lgbtq society

A queer person is someone who identifies outside of "heterosexual" or "cisgender", often people who are members of the LGBT community, but generally are people who are in some way attracted to the opposite sex or identify as something outside of their birth gender.

It means to be part of the LGBTQ+ community or be weird. Gay, in case you were wondering, means to be happy or be a man who is attracted to only other males.

elating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms

To be in the LGBT+ community, therefore you either feel attracted to the same gender, feel like you belong in a different gender, feel no sexual desires and etc

Queer is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual or cisgender. The word was usually used with the meaning "strange" or "peculiar".

It means your identity and/or sexuality doesn't match the mainstream, nor the typical labels like gay, lesbian etc. People who are non-binary might use the term Queer because gay = 2 guys and lesbian = 2 girls, to which they are not a guy or girl. Queer is a vague way of telling others that you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community without disclosing your gender or sexual preferrence

Someone who identifies as LGBTQ+ but isn't quite sure what genders are their romantic or sexual preference.
