Serious question, no offense or prejudice intended here, but what is queer?
I understand what gay, bi and trans are. I get that intersex exists, and asexual. But I don't understand what queer actually means?
Edit: Thanks to everyone who has responded. This would be a difficult question for me to ask face to face: I'm a white heterosexual man and I worry that bluntly asking these sorts of questions will come off as insulting or dismissive, even when its genuine curiosity.
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Elaine thinks she's dating a light skinned black guy and he thinks she's Mexican. They figure out they're both white and break up because they're just another white couple.

That just sounds like being straight with extra steps.
