so gay means happy, while the q slur means weird and unnatural. your reasoning of "if its not used as an insult its fine" does not hold any weight, would you say the same for the nword? black people reclaimed it and call eachother it all the time, and why'd you give my simple "hey pls don't use a slur" comment so much power? Me asking for lgb people not to be called weird and unnatural is erasing lgb history?

As a gay person, I, personally am very weird and unnatural.

If you don't like using the word to refer to yourself, that's fine. But you shouldn't ask other people not to use it, especially if they're a random stranger on the internet, because they get to choose what they refer to themself as. Unless it's in person and it makes you uncomfortable, but this is something you don't have to engage in.

you don't talk for gay people. only yourself. who is using it as an insult other than you?

I noticed you’re purposely removing the T in LGBT.. why is that. The only people I know who do that are bigoted and transphobic.

Policing the word queer is pretty common TERF rhetoric, so like, unsurprising.

Unless you were hinting at that, then this is me being bad at subtly...

I was hinting, sorry lol. It’s just them trying to “”””defend””””” queer people by saying that the word is unusable (because of history) while ALSO dismissing a whole part of the communinty- the cognitive dissonance is hilarious to me.

TERF spotted. Opinion discarded in the trash where it belongs.

People love to pull the race card into literally any discussion no matter how unrelated, I swear.

IT IS NOT THE "GOTCHA" JOKER CARD YOU WANT IT TO BE, PEOPLE
