What started as a joke, me asking about all these extra letters means, turned into you displaying your idiocy, yet again.

It actually depends on the definition.
The definition of "queer" is :
queer
kwir/
adjective
1.
strange; odd.
"she had a queer feeling that they were being watched"
synonyms: odd, strange, unusual, funny, peculiar, curious, bizarre, weird, uncanny, freakish, eerie, unnatural; More
verbinformal
1.
spoil or ruin (an agreement, event, or situation).
"Reg didn't want someone meddling and queering the deal at the last minute"
Which doesn't help in this case, and can be confusing to those who don't use this word. Let's look at the sexual connotation of it :
Queer: 1) An umbrella term sometimes used by LGBTQA people to refer to the entire LGBT community. 2) An alternative that some people use to "queer" the idea of the labels and categories such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, etc. Similar to the concept of genderqueer. It is important to note that the word queer is an in-group term, and a word that can be considered offensive to some people, depending on their generation, geographic location, and relationship with the word.
So, when I said this :
Quote:
We live in a strange world, and making assumptions is dangerous. I had no idea what the Q stood for, and in all honesty, I don't care.
I wasn't kidding. Also, the Wikipedia definition comes up with :
Many variants exist including variations that change the order of the letters; LGBT or GLBT are the most common terms and the ones most frequently seen.[24] Although identical in meaning, LGBT may have a more feminist connotation than GLBT as it places the "L" (for "lesbian") first.[24] LGBT may also include additional "Q"s for "queer" or "questioning" (sometimes abbreviated with a question mark and sometimes used to mean anybody not literally L, G, B or T) producing the variants "LGBTQ" and "LGBTQQ"
And google comes back with :
LGBTQ: "LGBTQ" is an abbreviation that originated in the 1990s and replaced what was formerly known as "the gay community." The abbreviation was created to be more inclusive of diverse groups. LGBTQ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (and/or questioning) individuals/identities.
So, once again, you can't even come back with something as simple as a definition. I would not assume to know what a ****ing "Q" stands for, as I never bothered to look it up and I sure as hell aren't making any assumptions because people get butthurt so easily these days. If someone wants to call themselves "queer" or "questioning", that's fine, but I'm not using that word or making any assumptions. But, maybe I can, because I'm not white. Confusing.
