also, if you go to glaad's media references ( https://www.glaad.org/reference/lgbtq), it's literally right there:
Queer
"An adjective used by some people, particularly younger people, whose sexual orientation is not exclusively heterosexual (e.g. queer person, queer woman). Typically, for those who identify as queer, the terms lesbian, gay, and bisexual are perceived to be too limiting and/or fraught with cultural connotations they feel don't apply to them. Some people may use queer, or more commonly genderqueer, to describe their gender identity and/or gender expression (see non-binary and/or genderqueer below). Once considered a pejorative term, queer has been reclaimed by some LGBT people to describe themselves; however, it is not a universally accepted term even within the LGBT community. When Q is seen at the end of LGBT, it typically means queer and, less often, questioning."
it's literally in the name of the community
Do I even have to spell it out for you? the n word. Honestly stop being fucking ignorant.
I never said I don't refer to myself as part of lgbta community, . I just told you about the word queer and I said 'them' a lot because I didn't want to account for everyone. Plus I said that pansexal people like to use the word queer, compared to other people in my previous comment. Just because people are born gay, bi, lesbian. Doesn't mean that most of them knew that and had to transition especially in this hetero-normative society. This is what happened to me, okay?
It doesn't matter what the definition you bring up from google. its the connoations and the meaning behind it that matters

Some people still find it offensive, I only pointed that out, thats the whole point of this arguemnt. I have no problem with it whatsoever
If you want a more specific search why people hate it, then its in this link

that reddit post was 5 years ago, no not really applicable right now. from 2013-2018 so many things have changed and people's thinking of reappropriation has most likely been furthered since then.
also, that subreddit seems to be exclusively for gay men? gay men on reddit don't make up the entirety of the community. like it's ok if you don't want to use it or you don't like it but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be used and it doesn't mean it's bad.
people can use whatever term they feel comfortable with identifying as without you saying it's a bad word, and just has bad connotations. and that's all bc i can't take the close mindedness anymore.
The other one is 5 months ago. honestly there is no point in me arguing. You can keep using the terms, it will offend other and it won't offend everyone else . I pointed it out so that you can sensitive to other people since they only hate it cause they went through traumatic experiences. But clearly, you aren't even sensitive to racism, so I'm going to leave it here and go.
Sorry if I offend you. Good bye.

Here both sides of the argument. You can see how it varies for men and women
Hey, I was wondering, why do you think there is so much more people who loves yaoi than Yuri? I mean, such a difference is weird no? The amount of people shouldn't be nearly the same?
