Growing up ive heard the word queer used so negatively all the time. Although i understand that it’s an inclusive term, i don’t use it for myself. It’s like calling myself a f*g

Just because the term is "reclaimed", doesn't mean it's not any less offensive to those that have experienced it in a negative matter.

Rapmons stolen jams nah, it doesn’t necessarily mean that. It’s more like a term for people who either don’t conform gender wise or sexuality wise or both. Basically a person who identifies with the lgbt community but doesn’t feel like the term gay (for example) fits them completely. Queer can mean a lot of things, I think it’s supposed to because people want it to be a broader term for non-conforming, kind of like a labelless label. Basically, it means that you’re either not cis or not heterosexual, or neither of them.

if you don't like it, don't use it. I'm a 48-year old gay man and I'm fine with it, but I can respect that others aren't. A marginalized community is always going to struggle with a 'label' for itself, especially when we are a wide group of diverse people. 'Queer' is 5000% better than the politically correct and tedious and impractical as hell LGBTQLMNOP22+ acronym that keeps growing every year. Other terms like 'rainbow' community make me want to barf. What are we? Seven year olds? Use what you want but I am proudly queer.
@coldbrewcat4 жыл бұрын
it wasn't glossed over, did you miss the part where its been used as a label, a sense of pride, defiance, and community BY the community, since as early as Stonewall in the 60s, ie the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement in the US? no one will ever force you to use it but you can't act like it's just something "kids these days" are saying when its been used this way for decades
@suchisthismystery28142 жыл бұрын
@@coldbrewcat I lived through that period in London and never once heard that term used positively or it being reclaimed by the LGBT community; quite the contrary. I viscerally remember the vile hatred with which it was used and the often physical violence that accompanied it.

So.... They are gonna talk about a homophobic dude in detail but skip over the fact that stonewall was lead by trans women like Marsha P. Johnson????? Trans folks felt like an after thought in this video when they have been leading the way for rights for the whole LGBTQ2S+ community. I get that this is a video on the word queer, which is more centred around sexuality, but you can't bring up Stonewall without talking about Marsha P. Johnson and making it seem like it was predominately cis folks lead the revolution.
