“queer as fuck”, or, in scientific terminology, “heterosexual”,
i mean i sure do love being a big ol’ queer dyke, but sure. whatever you say.
And i love being a big ol’ queer fag but go off i guess op
I’m literally a gay man but condemn and mock people for reclaiming slurs or whatever because you’re too consumed by internalized homophobia to do it yourself 🤷♂️
so because i don’t want to enthusiastically adopt a term that:
would have carried trauma and suffering for many of my lesbian ancestors
literally means ‘weird’ even though our main point of activism for years has been that homosexuality is natural and common everywhere
does not acknowledge the individual realities of our sexualities, encouraging onlookers (and ourselves!) to see us as a homogenous mass of ‘the queers’ instead of addressing head-on why we’re different and why this is positive
literally doesn’t do anything. at all. chances are you’ve never actually been called queer if you’re middle class and western enough to reclaim it, so what do you get out of using the term other than a little bit of edge factor?
that means i have internalised homophobia????
I’m not saying you have internalized homophobia because you don’t adopt it I’m saying you have internalized homophobia because you mock those who do and assume they have more privilege than you but i understand how it might’ve come off that way
I’m literally so confused by this post cause I’m queer and I identify that way because I also identify as lesbian, bisexual, or gay depending. Being queer easily encompasses all of me and describes me better than any of those other identities.
You can’t invalidate my identity cause you get offended by it. Being queer is who I am.
