Whoa, this company is progressive af!

Theres gender identity and pronoun right after lmao.

No fucking way! I thought Gender and gender identity was the same thing?

I also thought queer was gay. But the options imply theyre different.

But its super neat these options are here. My last job had none of this three months ago!

As far as I know, they are, I think? I've never heard the two used differently.

Yeah, queer is sort of a gray area. Its use has changed over the past decade or two some, at least in my experience. I'm not 100% sure what it means now though.

I do think that asking for sexual orientation might be a bit of a red flag for legal/discrimination reasons, but based on having options for the other stuff it might be fine? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer lmao.

Queer can be an umbrella term that includes gay. Like, I'd say I'm "queer" because I like women, men, and a lot in between the two ends of the spectrum. I don't (personally) feel comfortable calling myself bi or pan, so I default to "queer." A lot of people dislike the term though because it's traditionally been used as a slur against them.

Gender in this context might be what you're legally classified as. I know that in my state, you have to have SRS to get your "gender" legally changed.
