Sophie SaintS.S.ThomasSophie SaintS.S., What Does It Really Mean to Be Queer? [online], Cosmopolitan, 22 listopada 2018 [dostęp 2019-04-28], Cytat: Despite the progress, the word queer isn’t without controversy–some people within polyamorous or kink communities identify as “queer” even if they enjoy solely heterosexual relationships. “Just because it’s one penis and one vagina, that doesn’t mean that there’s not some queer aspect of you,” says Dr. Kelly Wise. While some agree that polyamorous sexualities count as “different” (and therefore “queer”) others feel that for a straight, poly person to describe themselves as queer is piggy-backing on decades of LGBTQ activism to gain fundamental rights, and celebrate their identities.(ang.).

Definition of queer in English by Oxford Dictionaries [online], Oxford Dictionaries | English [dostęp 2019-04-28], Cytat: Usage The word queer was first used to mean ‘homosexual’ in the late 19th century; when used by heterosexual people, it was originally an aggressively derogatory term. By the late 1980s, however, some gay people began to deliberately use the word queer in place of gay or homosexual, in an attempt, by using the word positively, to deprive it of its negative power. Queer also came to have broader connotations, relating not only to homosexuality but to any sexual orientation or gender identity not corresponding to heterosexual norms. The neutral use of queer is now well established and widely used, especially as an adjective or noun modifier, and exists alongside the derogatory usage.
