Are you a queer?

"Queer is a word that clarifies that I’m not straight and ties me to the larger queer community, but it doesn’t categorize me as gay. The vagueness of the term is intentional— queer is an identity created for anyone outside of the heterosexual norm and meant to be inclusive and create a sense of acceptance."

This bullshit again?

“ While you might’ve heard the word used as an insult, the term “queer” has recently been reclaimed by the community to be empowering and create a sense of community, rather than deragatory, says Amanda Pasciucco, AASECT certified sex therapist.”

Oh, so that “certified sex therapist” polled the gay community and found that the Q word has been officially reclaimed and is no longer offensive to the majority? Who the fuck is she to speak for GAY MEN who were taunted with that word for decades?

Fuck that word, fuck people who assume we’re all just fine with it, fuck Amanda, fuck straight “kinky” people who use it. Fuck EVERYONE!

Even it if had been used as a slur for 99% of its existence, there is nothing that unites me with the typical "queer". It's embarrassing. I'm gay all the way. Q and T can make their own little group.

Queer has been reclaimed by the most middling minds, so no.

Should have been "hadn't been used as a slur"

Am I queer? No, im not a white girl with a boyfriend OP

by Anonymousreply 5February 24, 2021 5:44 AM

In the old fashioned sense, yes.

by Anonymousreply 6February 24, 2021 5:46 AM

Yes. I'm queer. Gay is too limiting but I'm that too.

by Anonymousreply 7February 24, 2021 12:22 PM

Gays are not q---r, so shut the fuck up, quisling breeder-lover OP!

by Anonymousreply 8February 24, 2021 12:29 PM

Gay is too limiting?

Why do I keep voting Democrat? Tell me again?

by Anonymousreply 9February 24, 2021 12:32 PM

There’s something so hipsterish about using queer. It just doesn’t come off as genuine. It’s sounds like something a bunch of trust fund kids dabbling in poverty to be hip came up with.

I am gay. I think LGB should be dissociated from TGNC (trans and gender non-conforming). Different experiences.

by Anonymousreply 13February 24, 2021 12:46 PM

I'm queer and gay. And no amount of re-defining is going to keep the two from being the same.

Quit appropriating queer/gay culture. It offends and is nothing but the dominant elements of society stealing our values and meaning for personal emotional and, sometimes, financial gain.

"Queer" is not your taco.

Silly twat.

Gays are not abnormal or disordered thus we are not q---r and that word will always be hate speech.

When hate speech is finally illegal in the US, it will be a capital crime.

by Anonymousreply 18February 24, 2021 1:01 PM

This is bullshit, everyone (straights and us) know Queer means gay. End of Story.

by Anonymousreply 19February 24, 2021 1:02 PM

Who added "I" to LGBT and what does it mean?

by Anonymousreply 20February 24, 2021 1:03 PM

Calling breeders "str8" is also homophobic, quisling R19.

Stop using that word. Gays are not q---r. If anything, heterosexuals are since the Jewish God knows they are not normal in any way, shape, or form. They are the sick and diseased ones, not gay people. Call them hate speech, not gay people.

Gay slurs will always be acceptable (and mainstream).

by Anonymousreply 23February 24, 2021 1:05 PM

Then calling breeders breeders is not hate speech. It's just a word, breeders! Get over it, breeders!

by Anonymousreply 24February 24, 2021 1:06 PM

Stop calling gays the q-word you dirty breeders!

by Anonymousreply 25February 24, 2021 1:06 PM

Just for this, you made me hate that word and the breeders who forced it on us even more.

Just for this, not only should anti-GAY hate speech be a capital crime, so should heterosexuality.

by Anonymousreply 26February 24, 2021 1:08 PM

British words for QUEER seem less offensive than FAGGOT, HOMO etc.

NANCY BOY, PUFTA

or even Asian names like LADY BOY.

How typical of those imperialist limey honkies to invent more hate speech for us after they imprisoned Oscar Wilde and sterilized Alan Turing.

by Anonymousreply 28February 24, 2021 1:10 PM

Those limey honkies at Tavistock have probably already sterilized the next Alan Turing or the next Oscar Wilde.

They still makes no sense. Come back when you’re sober.

I hate the word queer. It’s hateful and harmful. It’s similar to calling someone the n-word. I don’t want to own or reclaim the word queer. It should be buried and not used. Yes, I’m serious.

I'm still hopeful we can put the Gay back into Pride after jettisoning the alphabet people now piling up after LGB.

by Anonymousreply 33February 24, 2021 7:50 PM

That’ll never happen if you keep voting Democrat R33. If anything, gay will be gone...for good.
