Re: Question about a thread from yesterday...

[dratinis]

The second definition you gave makes me think that the use of the word "queer" is justified in instances were it is a homosexual partnership of sorts, so thank you for phrasing it in a way that makes sense! And I agree, it really is an issue of semantics, probably more than anything else. Then again, I'm the type of person that tries to approach challenges from a linguistic perspective, so I'm definitely biased in saying that it's largely something to do with semantics.

I don't know, it's kind of confusing. And I guess it depends on how exactly you define what falls under queer (do asexual people who are romantically interested in the same sex count?).

That's probably another issue with it, as well. Asexuality seems to not be very clear, even within the ace community. It's kinda the reason why I gave up trying to understand sexual orientation, to be honest.

Yeah, where it's a relationship that's basically exactly like a sexual romantic one, just minus the sex, and it's between two people of the same sex, I think saying they're queer (or gay, or whatever word they want to use) and part of the LGBTQ+ community makes sense, since that's how the relationship will be perceived by others and they will most likely face the same issues that gay people do.

I agree. Even in this thread there are people using different definitions of the same word, or using different words to describe the same thing, so it's kind of hard to not think it's a semantic issue. It just seems to vary based on the individual person's own interpretation, which makes it hard to discuss when two people are talking about different concepts but using the same word for them, but I guess that's just how it is, especially when it comes to something as complicated as sexuality.

That's probably another issue with it, as well. Asexuality seems to not be very clear, even within the ace community. It's kinda the reason why I gave up trying to understand sexual orientation, to be honest.

It's not clear at all. There's the "official" definition which I think is kind of vague and hard to even define, and then there are the other definitions outside of that, and people use so many different ones. And just in general when it comes to sexual orientation, there are all these different terms, and people have different definitions of them and apply them in inconsistent ways...it makes things unnecessarily complicated. I've pretty much given up understanding, too.
