Queer wasn't always a slur. Gay people decided it was a slur because they didn't like bisexual and trans people including themselves in their community by using it for themselves. The fact that straight people had started using it as an insult made it easier for gay people to point and say "See, it's a slur." Which you could see was ridiculous because straight people were also using "gay" as an insult, but that never became a slur.

"Queer wasn't always a slur."

Try saying that to any LGBT person over the age of thirty. Best case scenario, they laugh in your face. Worst case scenario, they put their fist in your face.

I understand that being ignorant of history is very common and I won't judge you for that, but I really think you ought to make sure you know what you're talking about before you decide to weigh in on contentious topics such as this.
