Just saw a post abt lgbt city folk supporting rural lgbt kids that started with ‘listen up queers’ and I think that is the funniest fucking thing ever. I, a man who was spent half of my childhood in the rural south and bc of that hates the word, and the lgbt kids in my town who were called dirty queers and saw a gay kid beaten to death in 6th year, were just called ‘queers’ in the same breath as saying we need unique support from the community fhcjfjdjshshs
I’m not saying that no one can use queer or anything like that, I’m just saying that if you’re gonna have a conversation about the specific kind of bigotry lgbt kids face in the rural south maybe don’t start by calling us a bunch of queers
People need to understand that some LGBT don’t like the word queer.
