This is a very simplified, short, mostly estimated ‘timeline’, please do your own research before taking any of this into account.
The Timeline
(Again, this is super short and simple, plus guessed / estimated.)
Meaning over time (estimated by us, chronological order):
Meaning | Example |
---|---|
Excitable, happy | In a queer mood |
Different, abnormal, strange | He’s being weird and queer. |
A slur / insult for LGBTQ+ people | Eww, queer. |
Taken back, as a way to say LGBTQ+ easily | I’m queer! |
