Do you support the use of the word "queer" as an umbrella-term for LGBT people?

Do you support the use of the word "queer" as an umbrella-term for non-heteronormative and/or non-gender-binary people ie. LGBTQ people? Some say its original meaning of "deviating from the norm, odd, strange" coupled with its use as a derogatory term against LGBTQ people give it a negative connotation, while others say that that is its strength and WHY it should be used as a new umbrella-term to replace the alphabet soup mess that is LGBTQXYZ. Your thoughts?
