Last week, we talked about how “geek” had become almost a chilly term for a desktop savvy, but perhaps socially inept person. That happened with little input from the “geeks” themselves.
The identical thing cannot be said of “queer.” Originally a derogatory name for a homosexual, “queer” has been embraced by some in the nonheterosexual community. In response, some activists in the gay community (to use a broad term) started calling themselves “queer” in a prideful way.
Since it first showed up in English about 1513, “queer” has always meant something not normal, something peculiar, something odd. Counterfeit money was “queer”; someone who is sick might say they “feel queer”; playground bullies would summon someone “queer” without knowing or intending any sexual connotations.

Rise of the sides: how Grindr finally recognized same-sex attracted men who aren’t tops or bottoms
Every month, nearly 11 million gay men around the world move on the Grindr app to look for sex with other men. Once there, they can scroll through an endless stream of guys, from handsome to homely, bear to twink. Yet when it comes to choosing positions for sex – a crucial criterion for most gay men – the possibilities have long been simply top and bottom. The only other option available toggles between those roles: verse (for versatile).
“Not fitting those roles has made it really tough to find someone,” said Jeremiah Hein, 38, of Long Beach, California. “There’s no category to pick from.”
“Whenever I’d look at those choices I’d reflect, ‘I’m none of those things,’” said Shai Davidi, 51, of Tel Aviv, Israel. “I felt there must be something untrue with me.”
