Having bizarre sex doesn't make you more queer. It may make you a weirdo, but not gay. I can only imagine what sex defying "heteronormative standards" means to this person... actually, I don't want to imagine it.

Having bizarre sex doesn't make you more queer.

It's important to remember that "gay" and "queer" are not the same thing in this context.

The word "queer" is used as an umbrella term for a series of behaviors which break social standards and the notion of "normalcy" in general.

In this sense, a gay person can be "not queer" and a straight person can in theory be "queer".

Yep. It’s now “queer” to not sleep with someone unless one has an emotional attachment to the other person (aka “demisexual”). A huge number of heterosexual people fall under this qualification, therefore, they’re “queer”.

You can’t make this stuff up. A huge number of heterosexual people qualify as “queer” just for preferring monogamy.

There was a post in asexual forum asking if any other demisexual also develops sexual attraction quickly like them.

Words have no meaning.
