(This post is a part of the series Queer Sexuality-Myths Busted. A small, not all inclusive research project i did in college. I am hereby presenting a few portions of that research work so that more and more people become aware of Queer Sexuality and start seeing it in positive light.)
What exactly is Queer sexuality?
Queer is an
umbrella term that is used to define the various types of alternative
sexualities in the society. Typically, we have known of two types of
sexualities. The first being heterosexuality and the other being alternate or
queer sexuality. The term queer not only involves the most popular queer .i.e.
homosexuals but also a wide range of other sexual orientations.
The various
classifications of queer sexualities stand as follows:
Homosexuals (gay and lesbian), bisexuals, bi-curious, transgenders,
cross-dressers, trans-sexuals, drag kings and drag queens along with a huge
population of asexual and hermaphrodites, third genders etc.
All the above mentioned groups normally identify as queer community.
These people have formed associations and action groups that work for the favor
and welfare of the queer community. With the increase in the conflict between
'normal' society and 'queer' society, there are a number of people who have
come out in the defense of the queer community. These are mostly heterosexuals
who have no queer desires and openly support the queer in their mission and
struggle for freedom.
