The term queer includes, but is not exclusive to lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transpeople, and intersex persons, traditionally, this term is derogatory and hurtful, however, many people who do not adhere to sexual and/or gender norms use it to self-identify in a positive way.
Gay is an adjective, not a noun; it is sometimes used. as a shorthand term encompassing gay, lesbian. and bisexual orientations (though not transgender. people or gender identity). Also, while many lesbians. may identify as gay, the term lesbian(s) is clearer. when talking only about a woman or women. Opponents of LGBT equality often use words like. âhomosexualâ to stigmatize gay people by reducing. their lives to purely sexual terms.
