@zeezeemoomoo whenever people pull the shit of "queer is a slur" I remind people that queer was a term that existed far before LGBT and that the term was quashed out because they didn't want cis gay people to be seen as "abnormal"
also lots of marginalised groups' names get used as a slur, and more often than not "gay" was the slur people used against me when I was young. does that stop me from using the term? no, it really fucking doesn't

@zeezeemoomoo also like, LGBTQIAP+ has lots of room for error too. why are bi and pan in the same acronym, or does the P stand for poly? is A for ally, or is it for asexual, aromatic, agender, etc? should there be multiple A's?
does the B stand for "bisexual" or bisexual *and* biromantic, i.e. more simply just "bi"
the Q itself stands for queer when... that's the entire acronym. or does it mean questioning?
