Queer

(adj)

Queer is an umbrella term that encompasses a range of marginalized sexual orientations and gender identities. Queer can be used to describe people who are not cisgender, not straight, or neither cisgender nor straight.

Historically the word "queer" was used as a slur, so some people may find it offensive. Others have embraced the word "queer" to describe their gender identity or sexual orientation (Source, source, source, source).
