Q

Queen - An effeminate gay man. Gay men who aspire to royalty will be disappointed to learn that this usage of the word queen is only a distant relative of the queen who sits on a throne. It is linguistically closer to queen - a disparaging word for an unpleasant or promiscuous woman, dating to the sixteenth century.

Queer - Homosexual, usually meaning reference to men. Originally meaning "odd," the term seems to have taken on this meaning early in the twentieth century.
