My two cents: I use 'queer' as a catchall, which especially saves on the (ever-changing) acronym. That said, I'll say that I'm one of the gays whenever I'm being really informal.
Since I'm young and don't have the experience of queer being a slur, I have no problems with using it.
I'm pretty sure r.e. my sexuality: I'm definitely bi (I'd potentially date anyone, which people are nowadays calling pansexual, but I can't relate to that label). Gender is where the debate's at, but I'm going with non-binary at the moment - that feels least wrong to me.
