It means "I want the added social capital of membership in an oppressed sexual identity, but I don't want to actually suck dicks or anything, so now I'm coming out as queer and if you question what that means, you're a bigot."
In the 90's, progressives wore colored ribbons to increase their "I care" status. Now, in the victimhood economy, celebrities of fading relevance adopt a low-effort, vaguely defined sexual identity like "queer" or "non-binary" to collect those sweet, sweet status points.
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.

Nothing. It means nothing. Hasn't meant anything for a long time now.
In every context. Like a lot of words it has been stripped of all meaning beyond being used as a weapon.

"Everyone wears the ribbon. You MUST wear the ribbon!"
This guy fucks.
The original definition hasn’t changed.

Everything else is a lie.
Absolutely nothing. They're just signaling themselves as part of the tribe.
I'm special, pay attention to me!
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.

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