2/29/12 Questions for interviews/survey of queer people

How old are you? (an approximate is fine)
How do you identify, gender-wise?
Do you identify as queer?
Why or why not? If no, do you identify as anything else (ex gay, trans, ally, etc)?
If yes, how did you originally connect to queer identity or how did you become identified as an ally? What has been your most striking experience being queer or striving to be a queer ally in america?
Do you see a difference between being queer and being LG(BT)? If yes, please describe this difference.
In which region of the country do you live?
How queer-friendly is your region in general? Are gay people queer friendly? How about straight people? If there is a queer scene, what's it like in terms of size, identity demographics, visibility in the mainstream culture of the place?
What do you think the national scene is like in terms of the same?
What do you think is the main challenge for the American queer movement in the next 5-10 year?

Do you feel like the way you expresse your gender and/or sexuality affects the way people categorize you (as gay, queer, transgender, etc)? Do people seem to categorize you in ways consistent with your identity? Why do you think people categorize you how they do and what's your reaction to it?
