Gay as the day is long. I don't use queer for a number of reasons, mostly because what someone said above about it being so broad and spectrum. It feels overly complicated and abstract to me. If someone really wants to know about my sexual preference/orientation and needs it spelled out I like to be blunt. Either I say "I'm gay" or "I like guys". For me, my sexual preference/orientation feels very fixed, where I see queer as this kinda entirely gray area. Fine for other people, but doesn't work for me.
