I think it means Questioning. But, I don't think even if it means that or the "taking back" of the word "Queer" that LGBT needs any more letters added to it. Pretty soon it's going to be the alphebet all messed up. and, after that it'll just be known as the Alphebet Group and any respect it hopes to gain will only be heard on Sesame Street. lol

Either Queer or Questioning. I hope you can figure the questioning one out. Queer, from what I've got from others that define themselves as queer, they're someone that finds people attractive regardless of their sex or gender. Or some genderqueers use the term too. Then again when your gender is "all of the above" any sort of interest would be both gay and straight and bi etc at the same time.

I've heard 'queer' and 'questioning'. Either way, I think it works.
By the way, 'queer' is an umbrella term used to refer to all people of non-heterosexual sexuality, even though there's an emergence of queer straights as well. Look it up online to know more.

The "Q" stands for both/either "Queer" or "Questioning" depending on what group of people you talk to.
"Queer" actually means "different" or "odd" but was used as a name for the homosexual community at one time.
"Questioning" is a more modern definition for the "Q" in "LGBTG" which allows for those who are "bi-curious" or simply unsure of one's sexuality.
Either way, the "Q" is a accepted, but not manditory when speaking of the "GLBT/LGBT" community.

Alot of gay people are reidentifying with the word "queer". It's a way to shock the heterosexuals.

Queer. It is a word which is being taken back. It means "out of the ordinary" and is actually a positive and inclusive word when used properly.

probably Queer. I prefer Quidnunc, though

It can be queer or questioning. I prefer questioning as that's how we defined it in the GLBTQ support group I was in some years ago.

I believe it means questioning, or queer.

I'm not sure, but the "Q" Might stand for Queen, as in Drag Queen.. Because there are straight men out there that do this, who wouldn't otherwise be classified as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, or Transgendered.
Hope this helps!
