emi–rose: 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 slur EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT BEFORE YOU HAS TAKEN THE ROCKS AND BOTTLES AND MADE THEM INTO SHIELDS AND WINDCHIMES Holy 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 INCREASE THE THING -- source link
