Something that explains it

I dont call anyone a queer if they are not my friends. I was truly talking about using queer in a pegorative sense. "As a queer person" "queer people" or"cheers queers". I never refer to anyone like "hey queer" or "you're such a queer" or anything like that.

My thing is I find it frustrating that some people in the LGBT+ community dont think we should be using queer at all and are offended when anyone uses it. And that is what my comment was about. Its that some people get so offended and think that everyone should think like them. Like for fucks sake I was bullied being called a queer growing up all the time. I know not everyone finds it an okay word now as I do. It's just annoying that some people can get so bent out of shape that they think no one should use it.

I'm not saying anyone should go around calling others queer and they should just deal with it. Im only saying I dont like the mindset of some people who don't like the word queer who try to say no one should use it.
