Line 31:
=="Queer Heterosexuality"==
Queer is occasionally expanded to include any non-normative sexuality, including "queer heterosexuality,"
This term has been criticized, and is largely not accepted by LGBT people, who argue that queer can only be reclaimed by those it has been used to oppress. It can be seen as straight people, who do not experience oppression for their sexual or gender identity, appropriating what they see as the fashionable parts of the terminology used by those who are oppressed for their sexuality.<blockquote>''"For someone who is homosexual and queer, a straight person identifying as queer can feel like choosing to appropriate the good bits, the cultural and political cache, the clothes and the sound of gay culture, without the laugh riot of gay-bashing, teen shame, adult shame, shame-shame, and the internalized homophobia of lived gay experience."''<ref>[https://www.vice.com/en/article/avy9vz/can-straight-people-be-queer-435 Vice article title "Can Straight People Be Queer?" on queer heterosexuality.]</ref></blockquote>
Queer heterosexuality should not be confused with [[Straight Queer|straight queer]] people and experiences.
