'''Queer''' is an identity, and is often considered a movement, of people that fall outside of and/or reject of the cultural norms around sexuality and/or gender identity or expression. The word queer can mean different things to different people, but common definitions include, someone who isn't [[straight]], or someone who rejects cisheteronormativity. The Queer Movement has largely been about anti-conformity and the rejection of binaries and being pushed into boxes. |

Queer is an identity, and is often considered a movement, of people that fall outside of and/or reject of the cultural norms around sexuality and/or gender identity or expression. The word queer can mean different things to different people, but common definitions include, someone who isn't straight, someone who isn't cisgender and uses the term, or someone who rejects cisheteronormativity. The Queer Movement has largely been about anti-conformity and the rejection of binaries and being pushed into boxes.
Queer is often used as an umbrella term for those in the LGBTA+ community, but it can also be used be as an orientation or gender identity for those who can't/don't want to find a better orientation for themselves.
