I think it depends on the person. I'm perfectly fine with other, non-queer people referring to me as queer, but it really depends on context. If someone I know really well, who's aware of my sexuality and the labels I feel comfortable using for myself calls me queer, I'm perfectly fine with that. However, if someone I didn't know as well, and therefore didn't really know their intentions, were to refer to me as queer, I'd probably be less okay with it because I wouldn't be sure where they were coming from. There are still a lot of non-queer people who aren't really aware that the word has been reclaimed and some of the connotations of that, after all, and it was a slur for a very, very long time. There are also still a lot of LGBTQ people who do not like the word and are not comfortable having it used in reference to themselves. So, personally, I think it's okay to refer to queer people in general, if you're talking about the group, but when you're referring to an individual person, always ask what they self-label as (if they are even comfortable with labels at all) and what they're comfortable being called. Other people may take a different stance of course, but that's just the way I look at it.
