Every time someone says "you shouldn't say queer, it's a slur" I become a bigger fag
I wasn't prepared to spend my adult years rebelling against youths trying to tell me to be more respectable
being able to say it is a gay right.
heavy metal scientist. sometimes literally. fountain pen enjoyer. queer and more than old enough to remember when you couldn't use the internet and your home phone at the same time

always loved to hear such a good-faith argument as "queer is a slur" and that's why I refuse to say the word gay as well
When I was younger in the 80s, "gay" was the go-to all-purpose insult. "Queer" was used by queer studies professors writing in academic journals.
yup. saying queer is a slur is the ultimate giveaway that you were in school either in the 70s or the 2010s

i always remember meakoopa's "all the nice queers are dead, all that's left are us pissed off cockroach motherfuckers" as "cockroach faggots" and really i think we should go with that
