Queer Terminology from A-Q
"This Q Glossary may apper to be simply a list of words, but words have power. Words matter...Words name and describe. If there are no words that fit, then LGBTQ+ identities, experiences and realities remain outside of language, silenced and invisible, unable to be recognized, communicated or shared...Wordsin this glossary reflect the struggle to created, choose and reclaim terminology. The struggle for words that build people up instead of tear them down is at the heart of our movement." - Qmunity
