Re: You mean they are ridiculous and you die laughing?

If you're still around, let me explain this, as a queer person.

Queer is still used as a slur. Not as much, but since it's still being used that way, and because it WAS a MUCH worse slur in the past, there actually is, within the LGBT+ community, a lot of intracommunity argument over it. Younger people (I'd say 35-40 and under, but especially in teens to early 30s) are more likely to want to reclaim the word. Older people, who were around when queer was one of the worst slurs, a lot simply don't get it.

To make an analogy, since you've said you're a woman, let's take the word bitch. Myself and a lot of other people have decided to reclaim the word. I have some older feminist friends, late 40s-60s, who absolutely cannot understand why we'd want to reclaim that word. This isn't purely generational, because I have run into people of all ages who don't like reclaiming language and feel the words should just fall out of use entirely. In any group that's discussing stuff like this, there will be people on both sides.

So, when there's argument about it within the community, that you're not part of, yeah, it's something you should not use. In part, because while in this context I can tell that you're not meaning it as a pejorative, it might not be obvious in other uses. Also, and I apologize that this is blunt, it's not your word to reclaim. Does this help explain things better?
