#there are DECADES of reclamation work behind queer #but suddenly it’s ok to just use this word I have NEVER heard in a positive way?? #don’t get me wrong if that’s what we’re doing fine #it was my own kid who told me this was a thing #but the sheer casualness of the introduction of a new slur into the community’s lexicon is pretty weird after the QUEER IS A SLUR brigade #queer #fruity #q slur #q slur discourse #lgbtq
