Do you feel the word "Queer" is an appropriate word to describe a sexual identity of an inidividual or a community? (like gay, lesbian, bisexual, transexual, transgendered, intersexed people) Do you feel the word "Queer" should be an umbrella term for people who's sexual identity is a minority in society?
Sexual Identity is such a diverse spectrum...why should we have to unify it under one term? Shouldn't we be celebrating the differences rather than trying to assume there is a similarity? I personally feel my sexuality has nothing in common with someone who is a lesbian or transgendered, but doesn't mean I don't respect thier sexual identity.
I personally have used the word queer, but sometimes I think its degrading because of its original meaning. So can someone tell me what are some pros about using the word "queer" to describe one's sexual identity?
