That's why I prefer the Eastern Orthodox preference for referring to her as the Theotokos, the God-bearer. In fairness though, she is Jesus' mother (the one who brought forth Jesus from her womb), and since Jesus is God the Son, that does technically make her the mother of God (the Son).

"Queen of Heaven" just creeps me out, though. She may be a good example for a believer to follow (she is, after all, the only solely-human being in the Apostles' Creed to be referenced favorably--the other one who gets a reference is Pontius Pilate), but so are all the saints (whether it's an Eastern Orthodox saint like St. Tikhon Zadonsky, a Western Catholic saint like St. Francis de Sales, or a Protestant saint like Catherine Booth or John Fletcher, Vicar of Madeley).

Aren’t we all saints in Christ?

Are you Catholic?

Seriously ... you just identified precisely why we use the term "Mother of God". It is precisely and explicitly to affirm that Jesus Christ is GOD ... a proposition denied by certain folks, back when the term came into use.
