Honestly, I think you mean "query" a text...as in ask questions of its basic assumptions.
Actually no it doesn't mean "query" it means "queer!" To queer a text is to subject it to questions regarding identity formation, to "deconstruct" it, after Derrida, to reveal its inherent bias in regards to questions of normative subject identity particularly as it pertains to questions of sexuality. So perhaps yes it involves "querying" but only insofar as the "asking questions of its basic assumptions" are directed towards an undermining of the assumption that heterosexuality is "normal" or "real" or assumed in discourse be a fait accompli.
Ah! So academic nonsense that only English postgrads care about. Thanks!

To 'queer a text' means to analyze, interpret, or read a text through a lens of queerness, challenging traditional norms of gender and sexuality. It involves exploring how the text disrupts or subverts societal expectations and representations of identity and relationships. Queering a text can reveal hidden or alternative meanings that go beyond conventional interpretations.

What does queer identified mean?
A lot of times people who don't necessarily fit into the three major categories: Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, ..say that they are queer identified. A lot of people who are categorized by others as being bisexual consider themselves queer identified. And also gay men and lesbians who don't want to be labelled exclusively as gay/lesbian use the word queer. Queer identified is also what some trans people consider themselves. Basically, pretty much anyone who is not straight in the typical sense may choose to say that they are queer identified or simply call themselves queer.
What does qweird mean?
I do not know if you meant queer or weird, so here are the definitions for both. Queer has traditionally meant odd or unusual. Weird has traditionally meant of a strange or extraordinary character. I suppose qweird would be a combination of the two, so it could possibly mean when someone is an odd, extraordinary character.
