Here you go
If it still doesn't make sense, it used to be a term for a gay man, but now if you're something other than straight/asexual you can just say you're queer

nah its anything that falls under LGBT+, ace is included
anyway i actually really hate that it's become a term for that considering it has been and still is a slur that's commonly used against lgbt people
Yeah and all these people keep coming out as gay like why you gotta announce that ur happy???
i assumed u were being sarcastic but if not sry for the non serious reply

IIRC queer was a term people used to refer to LGBTA people because the term means "not normal"
essentially calling queer people not normal
it's got a new definition now tho
cus that's what languages do

maybe it's a cultural thing but honestly i have never heard anybody use queer as a slur.
Most people just go for f*g or ****.
I heard it a lot in middle + highschool, i guess it just depends where you are? granted I haven't heard it nearly as much as those two.

It means weird or strange
Queer can mean weird or strange, or in certain cases, when used with a sarcastic tone, it can mean someone is gay/lesbian/bi/trans/etc.
Not gender queer but queer in general was what I was asking. I only ever knew it as a slur but now I saw someone say that they were queer but not gay and so I felt slightly confused but alas it's now an umbrella term for everyone who considers to be LGBT+
edit: wow i got some killer run-on sentence skills

Gay jokes that are actually acceptable
also queer was used as an insult in the usa in case people didn't know sometimes it still is but like others I don't like it
ive been called a queer pretty often, never those slurs though
also im curious why you censor the f slur but not the lesbian one (not beign hostile or anything but im assuming its coz of the filter)
a couple teenage dudes know if they call me the more obvious slurs theyd get their ass kicked at school since its pretty big on no homophobia/transphobia etc, but queer is less known and sometimes teachers dont know its a slur. etc have heard "shes a queer" "thats so queer" etc
happened much more in the olden days
