That would be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender and QUEER. I'm not making this up. Google it yourself. Is Queer the new cool slang term Gays refer to each other? Or is it a new category?

Oh, by the way, queer...has been 'cool slang' for the gay community for a couple decades now. They've co-opted the word to make it a source of empowerment instead of shame.

Oh. So...they can call each other the Q word and its ok but nobody else can. Sorta like the N word.

"Queer" has been a word for centuries. I thought most people knew that. Maybe you were home schooled.
