The Q stands for queer, which is an umbrella term used to reference those in the LGBTQ community that are not straight or asexual. , music lover, book worm, body dancer, yoga practitioner, ex french teacher.
Besides I don't really like it the word queer, I find it offensive and I can never understand why some people in the GLBT community embrace the word. I am one of those that always add the Q to LGBTQ.
