==Culture and politics== Several [[LGBTQ social movements]] around the world use the identifier ''queer'', such as the [[Queer Cyprus Association]] in Cyprus and the [[Queer Youth Network]] in the UK. In India, [[pride parade]]s include [[Queer Azaadi Mumbai]] and the [[Delhi Queer Pride Parade]]. The use of ''queer'' and ''Q'' is also widespread in Australia, including national counselling and support service Qlife<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.qlife.org.au |title=Home |access-date=January 31, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202221819/https://www.qlife.org.au/ |archive-date=February 2, 2014 }}</ref> and ''[[QNews]]''.
