1. Originally defined as weird, odd, or unusual. Dated back around the 19th century.
2. A slur used for homosexuals, male or female. Baby Boomers and Gen Xers have been bashed with this slur in the 1960s-1970s. Still used as a derogatory term today.
3. An identity used by the LGBT community; some have reclaimed this word. That's what the Q stands for, but I prefer it used as Questioning.
Even though I'm young, I believe it is used as an offensive word; I'm not weird, nor am I a slur for homosexual.

1.) The Individual has some queer mannerisms.
2.) arsehole: That guy is a qu**r
3.) I identify as queer; I don't identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, so I'll use the word queer.

Get the Queer mug.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 B) Does that mean Bob is transgender, or gender nonconforming, or both?
Person A) I don't know.
