I am very tired of the 15 year olds who know 0 queer history getting angry at the use of the word queer. Go read the history and listen to queer elders and stop spending all your time shouting how ignorant you are. No ones saying you need to use it as a self descriptor. 1/2
But you dont get to walk in and start attacking everyone else for a term that has been thouroughly reclaimed to the point of it being the academic studies term we use. Queer is not a dirty word, and acting like it is gives bigots power. 2/2
Seeing as a lot of other nice folk are seeing this, I created this video with a bunch of other awesome queer people, you should watch it and support everyone whos links are in the description.
