"Queer" is a very stereotypical and slang term referring to someone (particularly a male) as being homosexual or gay.
Answer 2:The term Queer is now also used for individuals whose sexual orientation does not fit into the norm and/or those who choose not to identify in the norm. In essence it is a political term that provides a unifying umbrella for people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, transsexual and/or intersex. Furthermore, Queer is often used by individuals/groups who reject traditional gender identities of simply male and female. This can even include people who do not identify as part of the LGBT community but who see themselves as oppressed by the heteronormativity of the larger culture. The term queer can and is empowering individuals to push against the limitations of traditional biased understanding of homo and hetero sexuality and gender identity (Male and Female). For these people, claiming a queer identity means throwing away the labels and expectations created by our society and embracing the notion that sexual identity and practice are different in more ways then one.
Queer is an old word to mean homosexual, or gay. It originally meant odd or strange. But over time, it became a hate slur against LGBT people. Then after the now defunct activist group, Queer Nation, reclaimed the term, it gained a more positive meaning. Also, LGBTs were grappling with what to call their community, and in the late 1990's, the term Queer was used regularly to refer to any LGBT person, and without the hatred that was once associated with the word.
Commentary:
Are they born Queer? Perhaps. Can a queer become normal? I don't know, possible, but it might be hard. In native American culture they are considered a special breed of people. But as we speak, they are being ridiculed, abused, beaten, etc. Why? because they have openly show affection in public places without shame. They pose a danger to themselves by being openly gay or queer.
Why do biologists use sampling?
Biologists use sampling in their work because of two main reasons. Studying all the organisms in a population will be time wasting and the exercise will be expensive.
What type of line is straight and shows the general trend of the data on a graph?
Of course, this question assumes that the data is linear. It could also be quadratic, exponential, logarithmic -- all of these are quite common with data. Then it becomes a curve of best best.
For a continuous distribution - which is what we are considering here - the probability of something being EXACTLY a specific value is zero. This is basically because there are infinite many possible values. You will only ever consider ranges of numbers, such as the probability of something being 1 and 2.
Round 297.85 square kilometer to the nearest tenth of a square kilometer?
297.8 square kilometres.
Now here is a minor digression that you may (or may not) find is of interest:
There are different views on how the digit 5 should be rounded - up or down. 1,2,3 and 4 are always rounded down; 6,7,8 and 9 are always rounded up and 0 does not need rounding. So if you always round 5 down, you will round down 5 numbers and up 4 and so introduce a downward bias in your work. Conversely, if you always round up you will introduce an upward bias. You could randomly decide to round up or down but this makes it more difficult for others to follow what you have done. The recommended answer is to round 5 so that the previous digit is EVEN.
Thus 0.15 is rounded up to 0.2
and 0.45 is rounded down to 0.4
How many three digit combination can be made out of 4-1-8-7-2-9-0-3-6?

What is an easier way to produce a three-digit number that has 3 as a factor?
Easier than what? The easiest way to produce a three-digit number that is a multiple of 3 (has 3 as a factor) is to make sure the digits total to a multiple of 3. 123, 555, 498 are all multiples of 3.
What is the independent and dependent event for pulling two marbles out of a bag?
The first marble is the independent event because its probability is only based on the sample space of the bag. The second marble is the dependent event because its probability is based on the sample space of the bag which has now been changed by the first marble.
What graph can the measures of central tendency not be found?
A categoric chart - pie or bar.
For example, answers to what is your favourite fruit?
A negative correlation
How do you multiply 2 digit numbers times 2 digit numbers?
You line them up and down and then multiply the first ones up and down on the right. then you do the diagonally ones and then you put a zero on the bottom right. then you go to the second number on the right and do the one diagonally and then the on up and down. then you add the two together and you have your answer.
