[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So is his spouse now ungay?[/quote]

that's my question. The spouse was a lesbian, but is now married to a man? [/quote]

They are queer. [/quote]

What does queer mean anyways? I never understood that term. Gay and lesbian and bi make sense but what is queer?[/quote]

It's an umbrella term that can encompass non-cis, non-straight identities. [/quote]

+1 It's also an identifier that people choose, or don't choose, according to personal preference. I don't know whether Page's wife will still identify as a lesbian, or just queer, or something else entirely and it's honestly not really my business because neither of them are my relative or close personal friend.

It does raise another issue, though, which is that not everyone who identifies as trans* is going to have hormone therapy, or gender confirmation surgery, or anything else. There's a huuuuuuuuuge umbrella under the trans* identity, and no one way of doing it correctly. [/quote]
