y’all clowns saying “queer is reclaimed, it’s not a slur anymore, and no one hears it used to be degrading these days blah blah blah”

but looks like queer is, uh, still the

most

used

anti-gay slur when organizing hate speech in just online communities 

here’s the source

#LGBT Issues #Look at all the ‘most hate’ red #located right in the heart of ‘LGBT friendly’ places #like the Bay Area #Seattle area #NY and New England #all tumblrites who think homophobia is gone and other ‘queer identities’ need more representation #because gays are the straights of the LGBT community #– a quote I have actually seen here – #all y'all tumblr mogai peeps insisting that queer isn’t a slur #need to think again #the LGBT community isn’t the ‘queer community’ #no matter what buzzfeed says #dQueue

every time i hear the word queer describing the community i hardcore cringe

Q*eer is a SLUR

Anyone who uses it is ignorant of LGB history and a homophobe.

And this is even beyond personal reclaiming for those who wanna argue that, because we are well aware we can’t bust into anyone’s life and MAKE them not use it on themselves, but now academics are addressing us with a slur, organizations are addressing us with a slur, and corporations are addressing us with a slur as a selling point. Y'all overstepping boundaries with reclaiming slurs when you have so much influence that you rebrand EVERYONE with that slur, and now it’s more acceptable to call us slurs instead of respectful descriptors like lesbian, gay and bi.

Q***r is a slur, it’s not a sexuality or identity, it’s a slur.
