Queer != Gay

I'm really hoping someone can tell me what it does mean, given LGBTQIA implies Q is not the same thing as any of those other things

Hahaha, well that was arguably a definition, not sure it was 'concise'

"Queer, then, mostly means being intentionally weird, often to blatant exaggeration, making that weirdness core to one’s identity..."

'intentional', 'exaggeration', 'making' it one's identity, rather than that being one's identity.

Ok, it's more or less what I would have guessed, completely incoherent gibberish that contradicts much of their own ideology about this being their natural state

I think being Queer is just activists putting Queer Theory into practice rather than an innate characteristic. Well it was until teenage girls started claiming it as their identity in which case they’re just straights who don’t want to be just boring straights but don’t actually feel same-sex attraction and will eventually grow out of it when septum piercings are passé.

Ah I see so basically.

Queer (Noun)

Someone who is annoying.

Quick answer: it means whatever they want it to mean.
