I couldn't really catorgorize myself as being bisexual... there are too many people who don't catorgorize themselves traditionally as man or woman. What about them?
The term queer has been used in the past to determine something/someone who was strange or different. Starting around the 1950's , the term queer became a derogatory word used against people who identified as gay, or lesbian.
Today the word has been reclaimed by the " generation of GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) youth" Adding the "Q" is just another acronym for someone who wants to identify with the "other croud".
The term is used by anyone who considers themselves to be "out of the norm" of GLBT. Which can mean sommething completely different for each individual.
I identify as queer. For me it means more to know someone on a spiritual, mental, emotional level, than to worry about biological sex.
I could care less about your working/ or non working genitalia, your chromosomes, which bathroom you use most often, or whether you like pink or blue... if we click on an emotional level, then there is a chance for possibility.
