Nothing. It means nothing. Hasn't meant anything for a long time now.

In this context

In every context. Like a lot of words it has been stripped of all meaning beyond being used as a weapon.

In the 90's, progressives wore colored ribbons to increase their "I care" status.

"Everyone wears the ribbon. You MUST wear the ribbon!"

queer : differing in some way from what is usual or normal : ODD, STRANGE, WEIRD

The original definition hasn’t changed.

Public declaration of alligiance to Satan.

Bell Hooks explained it perfectly in one of the replies. For this man, queerness is a codification of his narcissism. He pathologically rebels against every Darwinian norm surrounding him. Because he must feel special, unique, and better than the people around him, but he has no talent or competence that affords him such a pedestal. So he self-identifies as something exotic in order to attain the status otherwise denied him by virtue of his mediocrity. He’s no different than an edgy teenager discovering nihilism and suddenly deciding everyone else is stupid.

For me, embracing being queer was as much an intellectual journey as it was other areas. Just the way I think of structural oppression comes from not feeling heteronormative in my thinking about things.

Said somebody in the comments who must have graduated from Evergreen College ~ muh dick.

Everything else is a lie.

Absolutely nothing. They're just signaling themselves as part of the tribe.

According to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer_heterosexuality

What I get from that is soy boys are queer?

I have to grant it to the left, the way they manipulated words and definitions is incredible.

Means anti-heterossexual.

It has the same meaning as so many people from a century ago claiming to be Cherokee princesses. It sounds cool, and covers up undesirable heritage like being Irish.

Same thing it means in every other context. "I want pedophilia to be legal."
