Meaning of "queerness" in English

Queerness refers to a state of being that encompasses a range of sexual orientations and gender identities that do not necessarily conform to heterosexual or cisgender norms. This term has been embraced by communities who identify as LGBTQ+ as a way of acknowledging and celebrating diversity and non-conformity in gender and sexuality. While historically it has had negative connotations, its reclamation by queer communities has transformed it into a symbol of pride and resistance against societal norms that marginalize or stigmatize non-heteronormative identities.

Meaning of "homosexualité" in French

In French, "homosexualité" describes a sexual orientation characterized by a romantic or sexual attraction towards individuals of the same gender. It is commonly used to refer to relationships and desires that involve individuals of the same sex, such as gay or lesbian relationships. The term is derived from Latin and Greek roots meaning "same" and "sex," and it is often used in discussions about sexual orientation rights, diversity, and acceptance. It encompasses individual feelings, relationships, and broader social identities within Francophone contexts.
