1. (queer) (3239↑, 1151↓)
queer: Originally pejorative for gay, now being reclaimed by some gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered persons as a self-affirming umbrella term. Caution: still extremely offensive when used as an epithet.
2. (queer) (1822↑, 552↓)
Originally meant to describe something as unusual or strange. Became a deroggatory word to describe homosexuals. More recently, it has been reclaimed by non-heterosexuals as a word used to describe themselves. Queer can now be used to describe homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people. In scholarly studies the word queer is also used to describe those who practice unconventional sex (e.g. bondage, etc.), therefore even heterosexuals can sometimes be defined as queer.

1. Your brother is a really queer guy. 2. I am a homosexual, part of the queer community.

3. (queer) (545↑, 245↓)
\\`queer\\ 1. adj. (a) strange, unusual (b) [gay], [lesbian], [bisexual] or [transgendered] 2. n. A member of the lgbt community. Background: Originally, "queer" was simply just another word for strange, unusual, or wierd. When gay people first started coming out of the closet, they were seen as strange, unusual, and diseased. Thus, the word "queer" began denoting someone who is gay, lesbian, transgendered, or bisexual. Recently, it has been adopted by many people in the [LGBT] commnunity as an acceptable umbrella term. However, not all people are comfortable using it.

1. (a) That crazy person is quite queer. (b) My friend is queer, she told me yesterday. 2. Person A: Did you see that fucking queer? I hate them\! Person B: Shut up, dude, don't hate them for no reason. What did they ever do to you?

4. (queer) (522↑, 284↓)
Re-claimed umbrella term used to describe the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transsexual and general non-heterosexual communities. Queer is the opposite of Straight. The word is becoming more acceptable than ‘Gay’ especially for homosexual woman and bisexuals who often object to being called’ gay’ which is used more often to describer gay men. It is still often used (just as ‘gay’ is) as an insult to queer people, but is taken with a pinch of salt these days.

23. (queer) (18↑, 40↓)
Originally and still meaning "weirdly or strangely different", it is an epithet used to insult homosexuals, primarly gay men. There is an attempt to rehabilitate "queer" to be an umbrella term for the GLBT community. Therefore they pick a word that will always mean "weirdly or strangely different", a word that obviously, from the readings of most of these contributions to the word "queer", it is still used is an very ugly way to describe homosexuals. I suspect it will always be said among bigots with a smirk. Rehabilitation is a word that is used in medicine to describe taking something sick and making it well again. Like physical therapy or something. Are we sick and need to be rehabilitated? Ask yourself, if you're called a 'goddamn queer' on the street, will you smile and reply 'By god, I AM QUEER\! and proud of it.' I don't think so.

You flaming queer. I attended a meeting of "Queer Connections" last night. It's a social and charity group that meets to build a strong community among the GLBT.
