excalibelle:kyraneko:jenroses:brinconvenient:dani-kin:quarterinthequeerjar:fairytale-villain:A good thread on whether “queer” is a slur and if it should be used or not.“If I am unashamed of being queer, you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slur.”you do not get to give that word BACK to the fuckwits who made it a slurEVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMESHoly motherfucking shit. Don’t fucking come at me about Queer is a slur. I FUCKING KNOW IT IS. It was hurled at me like a fucking spear all through my youth. I know it’s a god damn slur. And it’s mine. You don’t get to take it away from me because you can’t take also away the scars it gave me while I was standing in front of my younger queer siblings in this community. always, always reblog this one.If my enemy swings a sword at me and I take that sword away from them, it’s my sword now. And the person telling me I can’t use it because it belongs to my enemy and I have to give it back to them sounds quite a bit like an enemy themselves.^^ god that analogy -- source link
