Queer

"Queer" is an umbrella term used to describe a range of sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions that fall outside of traditional heterosexual and cisgender norms. Originally a derogatory term, it has been reclaimed by many in the LGBTQ+ community to signify a rejection of binary classifications and to embrace fluidity in gender and sexuality. Queer can also signify a political stance against societal norms that marginalize non-conforming identities. It emphasizes inclusivity and diversity within the spectrum of human experiences, acknowledging that identity is complex and can evolve over time.
