queer

once a pejorative, now a reappropriated term used by those who are attempting to dismantle the gay/straight binary and replace it with the idea that human sexuality is less an 'either/or' thing and more a spectrum onto which people fall in many different places.

i call myself queer because no pre-defined label fits me--because pre-defined labels are overly simplistic and misleading.
