Queer:   [kweer] adjective, -er, -est, verb, noun

adjective

1. strange or odd from a conventional viewpoint; unusually different; singular: a queer notion of justice.

I took the bait and went to the site that, per your example, defines justice thusly:

"jus·tice

   noun

1. the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause.

2. rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason: to complain with justice.

3. the moral principle determining just conduct.

4. conformity to this principle, as manifested in conduct; just conduct, dealing, or treatment.

5. the administering of deserved punishment or reward.

6. the maintenance or administration of what is just by law, as by judicial or other proceedings: a court of justice.

7. judgment of persons or causes by judicial process: to administer justice in a community.

8. a judicial officer; a judge or magistrate.

9. ( initial capital letter ) Also called Justice Department. the Department of Justice."

 

You say THIS is a "queer notion of justice"?

 

How is it a "strange or odd from a conventional viewpoint; unusually different; singular", and what is it that you find "queer" about us? As a gay person, I agree with all nine examples. So, how am I a "queer" again?

 

Way beneath you.

Wow, I guess the joke, which is having this sense of justice while being 'queer' (a common word for GLBT to self-identify) just went right over your head.

Do you live in Salt Lake? You should try San Francisco or New Orleans, where people are not so stiff-necked.
