If you can't support all queer people, especially the groups you're not a part of, how can you expect cishet people to ever accept you

"queer is a slur!!!! you are just calling yourself weird!! it's a slur a slur slur!!!!"

bitch no it isn't. QUEER is not a slur. It's OUR word that we FOUGHT for. Why do you want to hand it back to the homophobes? We Reclaim stuff so they can't use it agasint us. Every word we reclaim thats one less insult they have agasint us.

It's the QUEER COMMUNITY. This is our community. We are here we are queer. We aren't handing the word back to the bigots just because you don't like it.

We fought to reclaim that word and we fought for our community. The QUEER community.

you ugly fucking homophobe. stop calling GAY men "queer". Actual homosexuals hate that fucking word.

hi. i’m assuming this is about my post saying that i like benoit blanc being an older and happy queer character. in this post i also mentioned that a certain queer generation is missing many of its members, due to the aids crisis.

i’m queer.

i’ve been called it (in the context of a slur). i’ve also been called other homophobic slurs. to my face.

i use that word for benoit blanc because rian johnson, writer of the benoit blanc mysteries, said blanc was queer (here).

there are individuals who do not want that word used for them, and i wouldn’t ever use it for them. but when talking about an individual who does use it (implied of blanc by johnson using it to describe him), or a group that doesn’t just have a single identity (eg the victims of the aids crisis were not all gay — for example many of them were bisexual; this just wasn’t as well-understood a concept in the broader community then), i might use that term.

additionally, when i made that post, johnson had said that blanc was queer. he had not, to the best of my knowledge, said that blanc was gay (i believe he has since said this). i wanted to use the language that was used for the character i was discussing. it wouldn’t have made sense to not do that.

i didn’t want to refer to the losses via the aids crisis as just being gay, because they weren’t. bisexuals died. trans women died. people outside of the gender binary died. people who can’t be neatly fitted into the category of “gay” (despite largely being seen as such by the outside world¹) were lost in the aids crisis, and i would be (in my view) doing them a disservice if i said “we lost gay men in the aids crisis” and left it at that. it’s a true statement — many gay men did die — but it’s not the whole story and i don’t want to leave the stories of aids victims untold, even in a post that was primarily about queer joy. (my queer joy. benoit blanc’s queer joy. other people’s queer joy, if they’re queer and find joy in that post.)

additionally, when i made that post, johnson had said that blanc was queer. he had not, to the best of my knowledge, said that blanc was gay (i believe he has since said this). i wanted to use the language that was used for the character i was discussing. it wouldn’t have made sense to not do that.

you might not use it for yourself. you might not even want to say it. and that’s cool. but that doesn’t mean that i shouldn’t use or say it.

and it’s nasty to say “actual” like that. you don’t know what i am, and you certainly don’t get to dictate it.

—

1. they were seen as such by the outside world. but if you subscribe to the views that the outside world had on these people — and the idea that they were all gay men is one of those views — then you are also doing a disservice to certain victims of the aids crisis.

me and my partner saw a graffito in our city that read this once. the city was quick to paint over it, but i haven’t forgotten. so i made a silly little sticker design, and maybe I’ll plaster it all over the city. who knows

NEW QUEER FLAG IDEA

I like the chevron flag but saw someone else make a horizontal flag for straight queer people. (Like straight trans or ace people). And I thought that was a good idea but not my favorite so I combined them.

please stop tagging my queer asks with 'q slur' or whatever. I will eat your tendons.

#Stop saying my identity is a slur. Stop acting like every term we've ever made up hasn't been used against us. #the point is that even if you dont personally identify as queer or prefer the term LGBT over Queer (which are both fine and valid) #you can't act like a word we've used for decades is a slur. especially since every word we've used has been used as a slur. #and I am fucking tired of people tagging my stuff #tagging WHO I AM #as if it's a 'bad word.' #queerphobia tw #queer is not a slur #queer is beautiful #not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you #not an ask game #threat tw #fake threat #unreality #ask's ramblings

Remembering that time I was reading through a book in my English classroom and saw that my teacher crossed out “queer” and wrote “weird” next to it on a poem. It was something like “it was a queer feeling” or “a queer happenstance”, you know, queer. Like weird. Like the word was obviously just someone from a time ago saying “yeah that shit was odd”. And I was like- “haha, that’s silly”. Because it IS silly, it’s really silly. And my teacher was like “that word is offensive”, or something. And I was like “i get it, I’m gay, but it DOES mean weird”. And he just pulled the “I’ve seen a lot of gay oppression happen in my day. I’ve seen that word used offensively. You wouldn’t understand” card as if I wasn’t also openly gay, because god forbid he has to SEE the things we experience happen, and wouldn’t back down. Like, it’s such a small interaction, but it left me feeling so GROSS, for some reason.

shatter your nose against a table until the bone shards lobotomize you you slur-dropping waste of a life

content note: violent language in ask

i said benoit blanc is queer. the writer of the benoit blanc stories said benoit blanc is queer. this word is sometimes a slur, and i have received it as such before. it cannot be used in all situations. but it is sometimes a happy word, and its sad, hurtful history and present do not change that it can be used in a happy way.

it makes me sad that you find such anger in my queer joy. i’m sorry that you do. but i’m not sorry for using the word to describe benoit blanc.

i’m also not sorry for saying that we lost queer people to aids. we did. not everybody lost then was a gay man, and i wanted an identity-neutral word to cover the variety of non-normative experiences of the community back then, not all of which can be neatly defined by modern terms.

good day to you.

Every time I witness 'queer is a slur' discourse, all i can think about is this Discord server I was in that had in its rules "You can use any slur you want here so long as you want to reclaim it. If we find out you're using one you can't, you will be banned" which is all well and cool, but like... this DID NOT apply to queer? You could call people trannies, faggots, retards, (any others that dont apply to me), all you wanted, but NOOOO "queer is a slur slur you cant say queer!!!! :(((((" and just... I'm sorry, what? Literally people are so up in arms about "queer" they couldn't see how fucking stupid that is...

anyway queer queer queer, I'm queer I love being queer I love other queers (those who choose to use the word queer for themselves, if youre lgbt+ and dont that's cool youre not queer this isnt about you.) I love queer :)
