queer community
Rainbow identity group
The queer community refers collectively to people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or otherwise outside heterosexual and cisgender norms.
The term reclaims "queer" as an umbrella identity rather than a slur: The queer community has been organizing since the 1970s.
It emphasizes shared experience and solidarity across diverse sexual and gender identities.
