No comment other than to say issues are like baggage; so hard to define and so totally meaningless to say. If you've already done the research then help me out by giving me the links that concluded they all had 'issues'.

Thanks.

there is no link-and the friend of mine whos daughter hung her self after being teased at school, well im thinkin she would get pissy at me for giving out her number on here.....

to me, issues are not necessarily the same as baggage. baggage is something you carry from past experiences. issues you can be born with, like mental illness, social phobias, heck just being a bit strange. we all have them, some more extreme than others.

and we all deal with them differently.....some better than others....

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.
