Who counts as queer?
October 30, 2023 at 5:47 am
Inspired by a recent IG post:
Who/what counts as 'queer' (ie part of the LGBTQ+) spectrum?
Note: I'm not asking whether it matters, or whether anyone should care, I'm simply asking who belongs (and by extension what the criteria are).
My opinion: all non-harmful sexualities outside of alloheterosexual, all genders other than cisman/woman are clearly inside (to me).
I tend towards also including sexual relationships that are outside of the monogamous mainstream (so might well include polyamory) and possibly also lifestyle fetishism, though this is not so clear to me (if you have a good argument for/against please present it).
Thoughts?

I have no idea.
Seems like it is a catch all for anyone who isn't specifically defined by the other parameters.
But again, I really haven't got a clue.

Everyone is queer, if you use your imagination.

Maybe just people who are at least proud that they are different. I'm gay as fuck and I still wouldn't consider myself "queer"

You seem obsessed with labels.

I made an observation.
If your posts bother me isn't part of that observation.
Does being asked questions bother you?
