queer: Originally pejorative for gay, now being reclaimed by some gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered persons as a self-affirming umbrella term. Caution: still extremely offensive when used as an epithet.

A queere is a misspelling of queer (gay) in reference to the popular slogan of the John Deere tractor brand: Nothing Runs Like a Deere. In order to spoof the slogan, replace Deere with queer for the rhyme, then add an "e" to the end of queer to complete the satire. This misspelling, made popular by T-shirt Hell, pictures the outline of an flamboyant homosexual running away from an angry weapon wielding mob...hilarious

Originally meant to describe something as unusual or strange. Became a deroggatory word to describe homosexuals. More recently, it has been reclaimed by non-heterosexuals as a word used to describe themselves. Queer can now be used to describe homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people. In scholarly studies the word queer is also used to describe those who practice unconventional sex (e.g. bondage, etc.), therefore even heterosexuals can sometimes be defined as queer.

A member of the lgbt community.

Background:
Originally, "queer" was simply just another word for strange, unusual, or wierd. When gay people first started coming out of the closet, they were seen as strange, unusual, and diseased. Thus, the word "queer" began denoting someone who is gay, lesbian, transgendered, or bisexual. Recently, it has been adopted by many people in the LGBT commnunity as an acceptable umbrella term. However, not all people are comfortable using it.

Phrase used to annoy someone. Not meant as a slur on homosexuals, just as a way to irritate your friends. Most effective if 'queer' is said quietly, so only the victim can hear it, and even if (s)he does, (s)he's not entirely sure you did as it is so out of context.

One fucking awesome band
