NCIt definition : Used to describe a sexual orientation that is not exclusively homosexual or heterosexual.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: An umbrella term describing people who think of their sexual orientation or
gender identity as outside of societal norms. Some people view the term queer as more
fluid and inclusive than traditional categories for sexual orientation and gender
identity. Although queer was historically used as a slur, it has been reclaimed by
many as a term of empowerment. Nonetheless, some still find the term offensive. (Fenway
