• Many dislike queer because it is a slur, in recent years though it is being reclaimed more and more by the community.

    I remember even just a few years ago you could tell just how politically motivated someone was by weather they identified as “queer” or one of the many individual flavors of the rainbow (lesbian, gay, etc)

      It was a slur, then it was reclaimed but now it has fallen into disuse because of the acronym so it may have already slipped back into being a slur.

      Which was more politically motivated? Queer or the individual favours?
