No one's more queer than me.
I can be a river, or a rain,
water pours from me.
Think I'm easy?
I'll burn your tongue.
What am I?

$\begingroup$ @Chowzen ...I should have seen that one coming... Ironically, if that's what you're into, it may help you get the answer. (I'm generalising, sorry) $\endgroup$– Brent HackersJun 3, 2016 at 12:16

I'm going for:
dance
because we have:
No one's more queer than me.
queer=dirty, Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze
I can be a river, or a rain, water pours from me.
Think I'm easy? I'll burn your tongue.
Easy dancing (?) and fire breathing is part of dancing with fire

1$\begingroup$ Correct! ...and yet somehow with almost none of my explanations! Queer was as in "queer as folk" and water pours was a tap (but yours is good), easy was "cake walk" and burn your tongue was "salsa" +1 $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2016 at 16:17

$\begingroup$ so folk dance, tap dance and easy=piece of cake. vg $\endgroup$– JMPJun 3, 2016 at 16:31

$\begingroup$ Well a "Cake Walk" is both a dance and "an absurdly or surprisingly easy task" $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2016 at 16:39

My guess is
Twister or twisted.
No one's more queer than me.
Twisted can mean weird or eccentric. Being "on the twist" is British slang for being dishonest.
I can be a river, or a rain,
Twisted River is a book by John Irving. A twister is a kind of storm.
water pours from me.
There's a kind of lawn sprinkler called a twister. The Webster definition for twister mentions waterspout.
Think I'm easy? I'll burn your tongue.
I think this is a reference to tongue twisters.

$\begingroup$ Nope. Love the explanations though. Especially the tongue one. ...but actually, twist would've been another good clue. $\endgroup$ Jun 3, 2016 at 16:07

Is the answer :
Cloud
because
queer as me
they are strange(random) in shape.
I can be a river,or a rain
It depends on the area where precipitation takes place, rain is normal, cloudburst can cause 'river like' situation.
Water pours from me = as explained above.
Think I'm easy? I'll burn your tongue
It was actually difficult to decode this line, so here's what I understood. Clouds are taken for granted, even though they are one of the best part of nature, they come in different variety, form beautiful shapes, cause rains, etc. And when they cause lightening, everyone is scared, the electricity from the thundering is of several thousand volts, can kill in an instant or at least cause high degree burns, even to tongue.

Is it
Ice?
No one's more queer than me
It can take a lot of forms (hence the strange) like iceberg, icecream, ice cube...
I can be a river, or a rain,
water pours from me
It can be a river, since most of the rivers are originated from Meltwater. And it can also be rain considered as precipitacion (see hail). If we consider ice in the form of a glacier, then water pours from it.
Think I'm easy?
I'll burn your tongue.
I can't find a noun or something referring to a particullar tongue burn caused by ice, so I can only trust the wisdom of Yahoo Answers
