Queer is often used as an umbrella term for those in the LGBTQ+ community (though not all people in the LGBTQ+ community identify as queer). The most common definition is someone who is not cishet/someone with variant experiences with orientation, gender, and/or sex. One may identity as queer in addition to another identity (ie, queer gay, queer bisexual, etc.) It can also be used be as an orientation on its own or as gender identity. As an identity on its own it is often found useful by, but is not exclusive to:

•People who have a complicated identity that is difficult to explain with a single term.

•People whose relationships/orientation cannot be classified using gay, straight, or other common terms due to being non-binary.

•People who are unsure of their identity, but know they aren't straight.

•People who are not straight but do not want to label themselves with a more specific term.
