The etymology of the word “queer” includes both the concepts of transversality and diversity. Therefore, the word “queer” refers not only to GLBT issues (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) in the strict sense, but to everything that can be considered out, different, divergent. Today, more than ever, it is necessary to disseminate a culture increasingly oriented to inclusion and socialization, and to share different ideas and lifestyles.
