I agree that "queer" still echoes as a derogatory word with reminiscence to the Stonewall riots, but new generations (Millenials?) are getting more used to the word. (Remember the global impact of a show like Queer as Folk.)
If I were you, I'd translate it more as "questioning" and with something enjoy (movimiento/agrupación de) "lesbianas, gais, transexuales, bisexuales y personas que cuestionan su identidad de género." But I'm open to criticism!

How Do You Say "GAY" In Spanish? And Other Languages?

I was wondering, to me at least, in English, homosexual seems too clinical and the everyday designation “gay” is used as more familiar, with the other terms deemed disgusting, (the s-word, f-word, q-word etc)

Exploring the vibrant culture of Costa Rica becomes even more fulfilling when you grasp the nuances of its language, particularly as they relate to the gay collective. While English is commonly understood, speaking the heart language of Spanish allows for a richer life and deeper connections. This guide will cover not just general LGBTQ+ terms in Spanish but also introduce you to queer in Spanish slang, alongside the correct usage of Spanish pronouns.
General LGBTQ+ Terms
If you’re engaging with Spanish-speaking LGBTQ+ communities, understanding terms like “Queer” and “gay” can be invaluable, as they serve as catch-all categories for a variety of sexual and gender identities. The term “De ambiente” is another significant phrase, offering a quiet way to talk about being part of the LGBTQ+ community. And if you’re an ally, the words “aliado” or “aliada” will highlight your role as a supportive outsider.
Sexuality
In terms of sexual orientation, some terms, such as “hetero” for heterosexual and “homosexual” for gay, a
