thinks queer people are the ones who are confused

Not a native English speaker, so I might be completely wrong, but doesn't the word 'queer' litteraly mean 'confused' / 'weird'? Not that it makes a difference in this context, I'm just wondering

queer does mean odd, not confused. it is a reclaimed term used to describe lgbt+ people as a catchall.
