Once a negative term to describe those who did not meet societal norms of sexual behaviour, queer is now used by many LGBTIQ people to describe themselves. An umbrella term to refer to all LGBTIQ people. Can also be a political statement, as well as a sexual orientation, which advocates breaking binary thinking and seeing both sexual orientation and gender identity as fluid. A simple label to explain a complex set of sexual behaviors and desires. For example, a person who is attracted to multiple genders may identify as queer.
