Well put. Please don’t ask us to censor our own identity. We’ve done our research, we don’t use it against people who don’t like it, and it’s exhausting pulling up the same reasoning over and over again, you know?
I think some of you forgot/didn’t know that gay used to be THE go-to insult for everything you didn’t like. And I know several people who used to get called lesbian in a derisive and negative way. Queer is not unique in being used as a slur. To think that is to forget our history, and to have listened to those who wish to erase it.
Some of yall werent old enough to be observing shit in the 2000’s and it shows
