Eight is equal to capital "d"

So the terminology doesn't carry much weight around here, then. Okay, that makes it simpler.
And thank you!

edit: sorry 7Shakras, I missed your post. Some people in the gay community refer t their sexuality as queer to specify that they don't subscribe to a gender role. I didn't know if the language had changed so that gay indicates gender roles, if queer does not.

Welcome.

I've seen the word queer used mostly in a political context as it seems some gays have tried to "recapture" the word so that it doesn't have the original derogatory connotations.

Sort of how blacks sometimes use the N word, much to the consternation of their community.

A rose is just as lovely by any other name.
