A good thread on whether âqueerâ is a slur and if it should be used or not.
âIf I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.â
you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur
EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES
Holy motherfucking shit. Donât fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know itâs a god damn slur. And itâs mine. You donât get to take it away from me because you canât take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community.Â
always, always reblog this one.
If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, itâs my sword now. And the person telling me I canât use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.
^^ god that analogy

Yesssssssssss.
This came around again, but itâs worth sharing and remembering. You have the right to only accept certain words be used to describe you, but so does everyone else.
I have this bookmarked to through at people who DM me about using the word Queer.
