Hate the word "queer" being used so casually


If they were gay guys, say they're gay!

queer

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!

reply

A 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.

I'm so old I remember when queer was a word in English that meant strange, and gay meant cheerful.
