So, I've always used the word queer. Not as a slur but just as a broad term for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community and only recently found out it's also used as a slur. I was just curious on what other people think of the word.
Wait I never knew queer was a slur? I always thought it was used to broadly term the LGBTQ+ community like you said and also for people who were confused about their labels? Honestly I feel it's a really nice term and makes you feel comfortable and not feel like you need to really think of labelling yourself in depth(?)
I actually prefer describing myself as queer because I’m not really 100% sure what my sexuality identity is & I don’t really care to put a label on myself I just ik for sure I’m not straight and I also don’t want to be put in a box so queer is just all encompassing for me. Also yes I knew it was a slur but we have reclaimed it.
ive unfortunately seen it be used as an insult, or in a derogatory manner but I had no idea it was used as a straight (hehe) up slur. personally i have no issues with the word or being labeled as it
I personally don't have a problem with it especially with how many lgbt+ terms were formerly considered slurs such as "homo", "drag", or "twink"
And the word "queer" along with many other former lgbt+ slurs have gained new meanings in this day and age
I love how queer is used to include questioning people into the community and those unsure of what they consider themselves, so I think it's quite nice how the term queer has evolved

Yeah even though the community has reclaimed it for the most part, some jerks still use it as an insult and some people in the community are uncomfortable with it being used.

Yes, I am also not sure what my gender is but I don't really care enough about labels to find out. I'm me and that's that. That's reason I really like the word.

Ye, when I originally found out abt the history, I was like, "Fuck you, closed minded jerks." It's nice how we took a hateful word and turned it into a beautiful way of describing many different types of people. =)
Hiiiii~! My name is Samuel (or Sam) and I go by he/they. I hope you enjoy my profile!!!
Fun Facts about me: I have red hair (I fucking hate it lol) My favourite colours are blue and pink. The only accents I can do is a weird combination of British and Australian I currently love BOTW My first BL was Shame Application My favourite genres are horror, yaoi, anything related to the LGBTQ community, romance, physiological, gore, and anything twisted af I draw. (I drew my pfp =D sadly my art style is inconsistent as fuck haha) I'm trying to learn Japanese but it's so damn hard My favourite word is "fuck". I'm an atheist, and I believe reincarnation does exist in some form, like the recycling of energy (souls I guess) so I could have been a cute ass dog or a fern in my "past life" lol I am a furry uwu
That's enough for now, as I don't want this bio to be as long as the Grand Canyon is wide. Bye, I hope you have a marvelous day filled with joy and love~!

I don't "queer" to be offending either. However, I tend to be careful and avoid using the word.
