Default language issue

Ok, the next question will sound stupid, but anyway. I don't get the difference between queer an gay, if there is one. I first thought it means the same, but I am not so sure now. Or is it a question of language level ?
Thank you to anyone who's gonna answer.

Eleanor

Queer is basically used as 'not straight'. It can be used to describe homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, basically anything on the spectrum.
