how did we go from “some lgbt people aren’t comfortable being referred to as queer, so check in with people before you refer to them as queer” (reasonable) to “if you are an lgbt person who chooses to reclaim the word queer you are still morally obligated to censor it for those who don’t” (understandable if you don’t want to reclaim, but it’s easy and free to just blacklist the word rather than police other people’s reclamation) to “ewwwww i hate when people come out as just ‘queer’ lol” like i’m sorry i’ve had it i’m putting my foot down

p sure the op of that post has badly expressed the idea that they don’t like cishet women coming out as queer bc they peg their boyfriends or something; I don’t think they’re against the reclamation or use of the word queer by lgbt people

saying “i hate when people come out as just ‘queer’” is more than “bad expression,” there is absolutely no excuse or context that makes that statement okay
