There are people who some of you might call “straight” if you looked at them and their partners and impose genders onto them, but who are actually “queer.” And many gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals do not identify as queer. I am not gay nor lesbian nor bisexual nor transgender. That’s an understandable use of the term – like I mentioned, I interpret it to be partially about giving space for exploring gender and sexuality, and including so many different groups of people demands that space, demands a challenge to stability.Ĭertainly a wide variety of non-heterosexual, non-cisgender folks are queer.īut though queer might cover some part of that spectrum, it is not limited to it. Some use it to encompass all non-heterosexual, non-cisgender identities. And when I first began to have these self-revelations, I also knew that I needed space to explore all of these complications.Īs I spent time figuring out what they meant, I discovered that if I must have an identification that makes sense to others who need to see me with some sort of stability, it would be “queer.”īut that’s only because, for me, “queer” inherently defies stable identification. I know for certain I’m not heterosexual – without a stable gender, I’m not even sure I could be. Additionally, I realized I don’t know what exactly “attraction” means. I knew before coming to that particular realization that I’m also not only, and haven’t always been, attracted to men. I don’t know what gender I am anymore, if any. I thought I was gay because I thought I was a man, and I thought I was only and always attracted to other men. And maybe I was for some of that time – there’s nothing wrong with being gay.
