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

[(Anonymous)]

I meant to say that encouraging straight people to use it as a catch-all is inappropriate. Of course you can tell straight people to call you personally whatever you want them to call you. But it's not okay to refer to an entire community with a word that many in that community still view as a slur.

I refer to them that way. And I am perfectly fine with straight people doing so as well, provided they use the term respectfully. There is a difference between using it as a slur (as a noun) and using it as a correct description.

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

You're being willfully dense if you don't see why there's a problem with referring to people by a slur that they find offensive and have no desire to reclaim. If you call yourself queer, then of course you don't have a problem with it being used as "a correct description." But someone who does not think of themselves that way and has experience with the word being used as a violent slur against them by homophobes may not be comfortable with their community or lifestyle or relationships being called queer. You can't just tell those people "too bad, queer is so much cleaner as a catch-all so you'll have to get over yourself and accept that it's been reclaimed!"
