"Queer" is an umbrella term in the LGBT community. It can generally refer to anyone whose sexual orientation/identity is not strictly heterosexual and/or whose gender identity/expression is not strictly "cisgender" (non-transgender) and conforming to expected stereotypes. Queer is sometimes preferred to "LGBT" or similar acronyms due to their perceived exclusivity. The word "queer" may also be used to refer to someone who fits into the LGBT community but does not feel that any particular word accurately describes their orientation or identity.
