'''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>

An alternate version was created by bihetnaomi on December 10, 2016<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/bihetnaomi/art/Queer-Pride-Flag-2-650418588</ref>. It was not meant as a replacement pride symbol, but was a suggested alternative as a pride flag.
