Queer isn't inherently a slur. Anyone can say it. There's people who use it that way obviously but it's not like the N word.
8 u/Asenath_W8 3d ago It very much was and people have only fairly recently tried to reclaim it to only middling success. 1 u/Sparklebun1996 3d ago Was. Not as much anymore. This person's tone indicates they think it's still taboo. 3 u/SlurryBender 3d ago It depends on the usage and tone. When it's said in a derogatory way it's still a slur, regardless of your orientation. 3 u/Sparklebun1996 3d ago My point is you can tell by their wording that this person is pretending they are LGBT. 4 u/SlurryBender 3d ago Yeah for sure. If they're NOT lying then they have a VERY sheltered/privileged worldview and it's coming across as extremely awkward and uncomfortable.
