The Qur'an only prescribes that punishment for wilful anal sex, not for "being queer". The same punishment applies for adulterous sex while married. Do you think there are no Muslims who commit adultery? That is a no-true-Scotsman argument.

Muslims who engage in prohibited behavior are still Muslims, albeit transgressive ones. Once a Muslim, there is no way to cease being one in the eyes of Islam.

Shalom aleichem.

Is there a difference between "willful anal sex" and queer?

Queer doesn't mean you've actually had homosexual sex before.

Yes. About half of gay guys don't have anal sex.

According to Levitical law they're in the clear. Contrary to popular belief it only condemns lying a woman's lyings with another man, not lying with another man at all.

According to the Islamic law of zina too, I think.
