When most people see the acronym "LGBTQ" they are fairly certain what the first four letters stand for. "L," of course, stands for "lesbian;" "G" is for gay; "B" stands for "bisexual" and "T" means "transgender." But the "Q," which represents the word "queer," is harder to define.

So what exactly does it mean to be "queer?"
