I'd say content.
As an androgyne I guess I'm pretty queer - but my writing is largely concerned with hetrosexual romance, and the weird way that dreams, hopes, realities and fantasies all wobble when you see the (girl) that makes you sigh. - Not all that queer at all.
But I'm doing one about money and happiness now, there may be a hinted gay relationship - but that'll only be for texture.
