Recently, the term "Queer" has been in the news due to UK musician Olly Alexander's accusation of Israel committing genocide. Despite this controversy, Alexander expressed that withdrawing from the event would not advance their shared goal. The term "Queer" is an umbrella term encompassing sexual and gender minorities who are not heterosexual and cisgender. Originally used pejoratively in the late 19th century, it has been reclaimed by the LGBTQ+ community as a term of empowerment and inclusivity. Today, "Queer" is widely used to describe individuals and communities that do not conform to traditional societal norms regarding sexuality and gender identity.
