#also if you omit the Q just fucking admit you’re doing exactly what those ‘LGB Drop The T’ fuckers are doing

I’m not trying to say people aren’t allowed to dislike the term “queer”, but a LOT of y’all are doing it so incredibly wrong.
Some of you need to realize there’s a difference between “I’m not comfortable reclaiming this word, therefore I won’t use it to describe myself” and “this word makes me so uncomfortable that I’m going to demand that nobody use it anymore”, especially when that term is an actual goddamn identity. Your comfort zones are YOURS, not someone else’s, and you have no goddamn right to tell people to stop identifying as queer or to omit the “Q” entirely from the LGBTQIA+ acronym just because you feel uncomfortable seeing and hearing it.
Our community isn’t something you can pick and choose validities from, and it sure as hell isn’t something you can sanitize into a fluffy PG-rated sunshine land. Some of us are fucking queer. Stop erasing us.
