A derogatory (but accurate) term for members of the LGBTIQA+ community, used by intelligent people to describe fuckwitted asshats. Also what one of the greatest artists, Lil Nas X, identifies as. Lil Nas X is the only good queer.

The widespread fan observance of a fanon queer (relation)ship as part of an accepted body of work in a piece of media due to an a priori assumption that the characters within the fanon (relation)ship are or will be confirmed queer and circular argumentation where the inevitability/conclusion of the (relation)ship is assumed as true, often to convince or mislead a non-viewing audience that the show includes and delivers on queer representation.
Queer-leading is done in place of providing or supporting actualized queer representation in media and often leads to the phenomenon where individuals begin engaging with a piece of media expecting queer representation and then get disappointed when media that never promised queer representation fails to deliver on that representation.

Person 1: "I can't believe ABC's 9-1-1 keeps queerbaiting us! How can it give us bi-Buck, but not canon buddie?"
Person 2: "Girl, that's not queerbaiting; it's queer-leading. 9-1-1 and ABC never promised canon buddie; fans on Twitter just misled you into thinking it was endgame."

A word that used to mean 'gay or lesbian', probably excluding bisexual and pansexual people. Nowadays it's a catch all term used to mean 'transgender, nonbinary or gender nonconforming'. Personally I do not like the widespread use of this term because transgenderism and gender conformity are both issues that are important enough to be treated separately, even though they can of course intersect. It's a bit like having a catch-all phrase that means 'woman or black person or both'. Also encourages gender essentialist thinking which is a problem on the modern 'left'.
Person A) Bob is queer.
Person B) Does that mean Bob is transgender, or gender nonconforming, or both?
Person A) I don't know.

Person 2: Jeez man you've told me about it like 6 times this week, stop queer pressuring me

The best type of people; used as an (uncommon) adjective to denote people of the LGBTQIA+ community, but frowned upon by homophobes. A more common term, "gay", is more commonly used to refer to the aforementioned LGBTQIA+ community.
Per. 1: You're queer?
Per. 2: Yeah, why?
Per. 1: I love you--platonically.
Or
Per. 1: Let me get this straight... | (heterosexual)
Per. 2: No no, it's pride month, you gotta say "Just so were queer | (clear)".
