今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 queer.

queer 的原意是古怪的，獨(dú)特的，也用來(lái)泛指除異性戀之外的其他性取向。Nearly a year and a half after India scrapped a controversial legislation criminalizing homosexuality, the Indian capital has hosted its first ever queer literature festival. 在印度廢除了一項(xiàng)將同性戀定罪的有爭(zhēng)議的立法近一年半之后，印度首都舉辦了有史以來(lái)第一個(gè)酷兒文學(xué)節(jié)。

A University of California, Berkeley course starting in September offers students the chance to share “queer related stories” with local middle and high school students to encourage students who have not revealed their sexuality to pursue higher education. 加利福尼亞大學(xué)伯克利分校九月份開始一門新課，讓學(xué)生有機(jī)會(huì)與當(dāng)?shù)刂袑W(xué)生分享“與酷兒有關(guān)的故事”，以鼓勵(lì)未透露性取向的學(xué)生接受高等教育。
