The slate sky turned the color of breaking, and I wondered how much longer we would hold until starlight no longer hit our faces simultaneously.

im bi cis and my friend is straight cis. we agree that “queerplatonic” describes our relationship, but came across sources stating it could be offensive to use if my friend is straight. do you have thoughts on the term “queerplatonic” to describe our relationship, or how we should proceed? we don’t want to offend, but would like to find a different term to describe our relationship other than platonic friendship. we know alt. terms exist, but only want to use one if “queerplatonic” is offensive.

I would ask why if your partner is straight and cis, they feel like ‘queerplatonic’ is the best word to use. There are plenty of alternatives to QP like quasiplatonic and quirkyplatonic and so on, and probably even ones I haven’t heard. I don’t know about offensive, but it does give me pause as a queer person to hear a straight person using the word “queer” to describe their relationship. 

There are lots of different names for the same thing that have been invented, and I would say it’s probably a good idea for you to look into those to use with your partner. I don’t have a problem with you using it, but since your partner is straight and cis, that does give me a little bit of an iffy feeling.
