What queerplatonic means
A queerplatonic relationship is built around a strong emotional bond and care that go beyond what many people consider an ordinary friendship. It can be understood outside the usual romantic relationship model, including as a kind of life partnership.
What the word describes
Queerplatonic refers to the nature of the relationship, not the gender of the people involved. The relationship is not romantic and is usually not sexual, although it may involve a level of closeness that people often associate with romantic partnerships.
