For any LGBT+ people out there, how do you feel about celebrities such as Jameela Jamil or Demi Lovato claiming to be “queer” or non-binary?
Jameela Jamil is in a long-term relationship with a man.
Demi Lovato, as far as I know, is also in a heterosexual relationship and presents in a feminine way. She previously used they/them pronouns because she wasn’t sure which toilet to use - she didn’t feel male or female, you see - but now she feels more “feminine” again, she has gone back to she/her.
Please can someone explain: in what way are these women queer???
Doesn’t it annoy actual gay or trans people when these non-entities try to jump on the bandwagon just to generate publicity for themselves?

Queer appears to mean a person who thinks everyone who isn't queer has missionary position sex.

I'm bisexual and think it's absolutely fine for lesbians to have boundaries. If lesbians want lesbian-only space they are entitled to it.
I am fed up with fellow bisexuals who do things like, for example, insist on taking their opposite-sex partners to Pride, or to gay bars or social spaces, and performatively do PDA. Yes, bisexuals have opposite-sex partners as well as same-sex partners. No, gay people don't need heterosexual snogging pushed in their faces on the few occasions they are in gay-majority or gay-celebratory spaces.
As for "coming out" as bisexual when you are in a heterosexual relationship: why? What does it matter? Your life isn't being circumscribed in any way by being bisexual at that point.

To be honest it saddens me that some people might think I'm a 'tourist' or somehow 'pretending' to be Bi 'for attention' just because I happen to be currently in a relationship with a man. I've heard people say Bi people are 'confused' or it's just a 'phase', since I've known I liked both men and women since I was 7 years old and had relationships I would have to disagree

Because we are tired of everyone assuming we're straight, having to hide who we are and staying in the closet like it's the 1940s?
