what does it mean to be queer?
a queer person is someone who is not heterosexual and/or cisgender. it is often used as an umbrella term for people in the LGBTQIAP+ community.

this is the pride flag. the original flag had just 6 colours, but it has since been improved to acknowledge the legacy of queer black people and people of colour. it also includes the colours of the trans flag. this flag unites the queer community as a whole.

What being queer means to me
One of the best things about identifying as queer is that it can mean whatever you want it to mean for you. It’s often called an umbrella term for the LGBTQIAP+ community, which I like to imagine as an actual umbrella, one of those really big golf umbrellas with a fancy handle,
where you can shelter at least 3 people
underneath from the rain.

I have struggled with who I am so much, I have always wanted to fit into some kind of labelled box. As a kid I always thought you were either this or that, boy or girl, gay or straight. Now I realise that gender and sexuality are not about which chromosomes you have in your body.
