Queer encompasses a lot more of the spectrum than, in this case, lesbianism.

I'm a strings player - bass, upright bass, ukulele, guitar, sitar, violin - and so someone can call me any one of those things in a variety of contexts.

Shall I get offended if someone calls me a "uke player" instead of a "string player"?

Yes, your hobby is definitely equivalent to a person's gender and sexuality. Oh, and it totally does misrepresent her to call her a lesbian. Edit: language is weird.
