WELCOME TO DAY #1 OF EXPLAINING A CERTAIN SEXUALITY,GENDER,IDENTITY,OR PIECE OF LGBTQ+ HISTORY, TODAY WE WILL BE DISCUSSING QUEER:; QUEER, IN PRESENT DAY HAS BECOME AN UMBRELLA TERM, FOR PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY WITH NON-STRAIGHT, OR NON-CIS, OR USE IT IF NOT COMFERTABLE WITH MORE SPECIFIC LABELS. IT IS USED OFTEN AS TO DESCRIBE A WIDE RANGE OF NON-NORMATIVE IDENTITIES AND SEXUALITIES. ORIGINALLY, THE WORD QUEER WAS USED AS A SLUR WORD, ESPECIALLY AGAINST GAY MEN, AND THOSE WHO DEEMED SEXUALLY DEVIANT. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE LATE 1980S THAT QUEER ACTIVISTS STARTED TO RECLAIM THE TERM, AND MADE IT BECOME A MORE NEUTRAL OR EVEN POSITIVE CONNOTATION AS A SELF DESCRIBER
