'''Queer''' is an identity, and often considered a movement, for people for sexual and gender minorities, and people who fall outside of and/or reject the cultural norms around sexuality, gender identity, and/or [[Gender Presentation|gender expression]]. The word queer can mean different things to different people, but the most common definition is someone who is not [[cishet]]/someone with [[variant]] experiences with orientation, gender, and/or [[sex]]. The Queer Movement has largely been about anti-conformity and the rejection of binaries and being pushed into boxes. Similar to the term queer is the term [[variant]]. |

Entering the English language in the 16th century, queer originally meant "strange", "odd", "peculiar", or "eccentric". Over time, queer acquired a number of meanings related to sexuality and gender, ranging from narrowly meaning "gay or lesbian" to referring to anyone not heterosexual or not cisgender.<ref>https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/queer</ref> |

Another alternate queer flag was created by Tumblr users officialqueer and the-thought-museum on October 3, 2016.<ref>https://officialqueer.tumblr.com/post/151277458988/this-is-my-and-the-thought-museums-take-on-a</ref> It features the colors of the rainbow flag (in pastel to distinguish it from the rainbow flag) and grey in between to represent a spectrum where someone would rather identify as a broader term than be forced to commit to a more specific identity. |

{{Quote|This is my and @the-thought-museum‘s take on a possible pride flag for people who identify as queer! |
|||
It features the original colours of the first pride flag (you can read up on the meaning/history of them here) in pastel to distinguish it from the rainbow flag (and also, like, pastels are always lovely) and they grey in between, as The-Thought-Museum puts it, “represents a spectrum where someone would rather ID as a broader term than be forced to commit to an ID like pan, bi, gay, etc.” |
|||
So, basically, this is our take on a possible design for a queer identity/community pride flag!}} |
