ok queer bait.
by the come goblin December 06, 2021
A term for when a person is feeling pressured by others into experimenting or admitting they're gay or LGBTQ+ when they never considered it, or perhaps don't even want to be. Usually, towards people who fit a certain stereotype, or from people who become too invested in pride-related politics and forget other people's feelings.
Please don't queer pressure me; I appreciate that you guys will support and love me no matter what, but while this lifestyle may work for you it just isn't what I want for myself.

Power Queer
The Power Queer is the newest need in television and film. This is a character that started becoming more common in the late 2010s when producers and writers started to realize it was no longer okay for gay male characters to either be "best friend" screaming queens with no real personality except for being gay with no love interest or they were stoic (humourless) with a whisper of a love interest who then dies or gets murdered. A Power Queer is a high-status queer character, usually gay, a fully developed character, self-possessed, and who functionally moves the story along - either a person in charge or a personality who has the power to move and/or change the plot. And "being gay" is not their only character trait. They can have campiness in their toolbox, but that is not what defines them. They are not the butt of jokes, and they don't need to die to be humanized

Thom Allison, a veteran actor who plays Sheyonce, the bar owner, opposite Alexandra Billings, in the feature film QUEEN TUT, says, "Being sought out for the role of Sheyonce is a testament to being in the business for a long time and the kind of characters I have played. My partner, Micah Barnes, and I call this category the ‘Power Queer’ ."
