''Queer'' is an umbrella term for sexual and gender minorities that are not heterosexual or cisgender. Originally meaning "strange" or "peculiar", ''queer'' came to be deployed pejoratively against those with same-sex desires or relationships in the late-19th century. Beginning in the late-1980s, queer scholars and activists began to reclaim the word to establish community and assert a politicized identity distinct from the gay political identity. Queer identitites may be adopted by those who reject traditional gender identities and seek a broader, less conformist, and deliberately ambiguous alternative to the label ''LGBT''. ''Queer'' has become the preferred term to describe certain radical academic disciplines and is gaining use as a descriptor of non-normative〔Note that "non-normative" does not mean "not normal", but rather refers to the privileging of "normal" genders and sexualities over the "non-normative". "Normative" brings attention to the fact that "normal" does not exist in a vacuum, but rather is created and reified through structural oppression. See also heteronormativity for more context.〕 (i.e. anti-heteronormativity and anti-homonormativity) identities and politics. Academic disciplines such as queer theory and queer studies share a general opposition to binarism, normativity, and a perceived lack of intersectionality within the mainstream LGBT movement. Queer arts, queer cultural groups, and queer political groups are examples of expressions of queer identities. Critics of queer identities include gay activists who associate the term with its pejorative colloquial usage or who wish to dissociate themselves from queer radicalism. == Etymology == Entering the English language in the Queer Street" was used in the United Kingdom for someone in financial trouble. In the 1904 Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Second Stain", Inspector Lestrade threatens that a misbehaving constable will "find () in Queer Street" (i.e., lose his position).〔cite book |last=Doyle |first=Arthur Conan |year=1904 |title= The Return of Sherlock Holmes|chapter=The Adventure of the Second Stain|url=http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/108 }}〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「queer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
