Thanks for the sign! I ran them by two interpreters I met, though, and I learned that, at least where I'm from (Massachusetts), the sign you showed for "queer" is considered very very very very derogatory by the LBGT community. They likened it to the f word or "flamer". Just so you know.

@wariobidness Good to know. I've never interacted with anyone from the Deaf community in (or from, as far as I know) Massachusetts so I've never run into a problem.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much. I found a site that has "Lesbian, Gay, and Queer" on it. But I could never find Transgender. I'm not deaf, but I love learning it. I just wish I had the time to go to classes... :(

Hey I was wondering where you are from, because my community has a different sign. I really like yours, and it's rad when I can find out where these different signs come from.

Thank you. I was looking for these signs for awhile and their is not a ASL site that includes them.

I learned bisexual another way.

It was related to moving back and forwth between the genders you desire, using an I.

Have you ever seen it that way?
