Please, please, tell me what the "Q" stands for in this title? I know the rest. If its queer, isn't that the same as gay? -a straight girl |

Queer includes more than just gay. Gay refers to men. Queer is considered a broader term, including straights who cross dress, folks with fetishes, and people who are intersexed. But not everyone is comfortable with using queer. It's a reclaimed term, so some folks still dislike the negative past it brings with it. There is a kinda of angry pride that comes with the term. |

According to Urban Dictionary - LGBTQ: 1. lesbian gay bisexual transgendered questioning. 2. During an orientation for new students in the masters program in social work at CSULB, LGBTQ was used and everyone said "what's the Q for?" I guess they were afraid to actually use the word Queer, so they said "it means Questioning, as applied to young people, questioning their sexuality." |
