"Historically, queer is a radical term. It’s an assault on heteronormativity and oppression. Let’s not tame it.”  ~Bisexual Christian Writer + Student Activist Eliel Cruz, on Twitter 23 February 2015

Note: The term "Queer" was reclaimed starting in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s to help unify what is now colloquially referred to as (some variation of) the LGBTQ+ Community. Particularly to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the stigma and bigotry this engendered & excused.  Anyone who tries to say that “Queer” isn’t or wasn’t meant to include Bisexual, Trans, Intersex, Genderqueer etc. people, and only refers to cis homonormative Gay/Lesbian people is either extremely misinformed or … shall we say … deliberately "fibbing".
