How to use queerness in a sentence?

1. Maia Kobabe:

   I know we have the internet, but the internet is absolutely rife with misinformation, and I think there's a danger if you Google some topics about queerness, that you will land on sites that either are misinformation or coming from a really negative point of view, or it will send you straight to pornography, unfortunately.

2. Alfred Martin:

   Queerness generally, but Black queerness specifically, still functions as this kind of scarlet letter for many folks who want to work within the media and culture industries.

3. Nakhane Toure:

   People were mad that a specific passage was being mentioned, but underneath it was the whole idea that the queerness made it even more perverse. It exacerbated how disgusting it was to them in their eyes.

4. Alfred Martin:

   The issue with being the first is often that the first also becomes the last for a really long time, black queerness has only very recently become really legible as something other than a punchline. There's a lot of work, of undoing that needs to get done. And Lil Nas X might be part of that undoing.

5. Jack Petocz:

   On the day of protest, they tried to take away our Pride flags and stop us from distributing them at the event, i resisted, because Pride flags are a symbol of our community, of our embrace of our queerness, and when you have these bills trying to target and silence queer youth, I didn't understand. I thought it was irrational to try to take away our Pride flags at a rally that is about anti-gay legislation.
