Never give up being yourself<\/h1>\n\n\n

\u201cNever give up being yourself\u201d is an attempt to approach the queer world.<\/p>\n\n\n

Queer\u00a0is an\u00a0umbrella term\u00a0for people who are not\u00a0heterosexual\u00a0or\u00a0cisgender. Originally meaning \u201cstrange\u201d or \u201cpeculiar\u201d,\u00a0queer\u00a0came to be used\u00a0pejoratively\u00a0against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late 19th century. Beginning in the late 1980s, queer activists, such as the members of\u00a0Queer Nation, began to\u00a0reclaim\u00a0the word as a deliberately provocative and\u00a0politically radical\u00a0alternative to the more assimilationist branches of the\u00a0LGBT community.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the 21st century,\u00a0queer\u00a0became increasingly used to describe a broad spectrum of non-normative sexual and\/or gender identities and politics.\u00a0Academic disciplines such as\u00a0queer theory\u00a0and\u00a0queer studies\u00a0share a general opposition to\u00a0binarism, normativity, and a perceived lack of\u00a0intersectionality, some of them only tangentially connected to the LGBT movement. Queer arts, queer cultural groups, and queer political groups are examples of modern expressions of queer identities.<\/p>\n\n\n

Critics of the use of the term include members of the LGBT community who associate the term more with its colloquial, derogatory usage, those who wish to dissociate themselves from queer radicalism,\u00a0and those who see it as amorphous and trendy.\u00a0Queer\u00a0is sometimes expanded to include any non-normative sexuality, including cisgender\u00a0queer heterosexuality, although some LGBTQ people view this use of the term as\u00a0appropriation.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
