Question: are demisexual individuals queer?

Answer: YES NOW FUCK OFF AND STOP IDENTITY POLICING.

Longer answer: seriously, yes, it’s a sexuality that falls outside the dominant sexual paradigm, therefore it’s queer. It falls on the gray-a spectrum. Don’t actually fuck off, I’m sorry I got angry and swore. Come back and let’s talk about this; put your questions and comments in my ask box, or express them via a reblog, and I promise to respond.

Ehhh. I’m demi and heteroromantic. I don’t feel comfortable identifying as queer even though I don’t feel like my sexuality is totally normative. I’ve struggled with this, but ultimately, I read to the world as straight and have all the privilege that goes along with that. Not that straight-seeming people can’t be queer (I have bi friends in m/f relationships), but in my case it feels appropriative.
