Hate the word "queer" being used so casually
If they were gay guys, say they're gay!
sharequeer
ADJECTIVE---denoting or relating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms.
NOUN---a gay man.
True meaning: LGBT activist!
shareA definition that looks at LGBT as social construction, rebels rather than as individuals, who happen to be attracted to members of their own sex. Employing the term 'gay' holds a higher level of respect when aiming to recognize individuals as autonomous beings with unique thoughts, actions, and viewpoints. Conversely, "queer" emerges as a concept crafted to encompass facets of social activism related to gender and sexual orientation. In fact, it confines the individual to a narrowly defined mold.
THE QUEERS I KNOW WOULD CALL BULLSHIT ON ALL THAT.
shareSo what? I am not responsible for their ignorance.
This is the interpretation of queer.
YUP...YOUR INTERPRETATION...WHICH IS VANILLA & INCORRECT.
shareI regret to inform you, Kowalski, that in these matters, my level of education surpasses yours.
I'm so old I remember when queer was a word in English that meant strange, and gay meant cheerful.
