Drawing from in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 40 urban LGBTQ young people of color, I explore their uses, understandings, and meanings of "queer." With several notable exceptions-those who at least occasionally self-identified as queer-most of the young people avoided using the term altogether. Although the majority expressed confusion about what "queer" meant, many understood it to be somehow related to sexuality or being gay, but considered it potentially insulting. I discuss the relevance of these findings for work in queer fields, where research participants may not explicitly identify as queer or make use of the word
