ColonizationTumblr post claims the q-slur has been "fully reclaimed" and that censoring it is "bigoted". (some sanity in the replies)

Great, I'm glad we agree on something! Now about those people you're lumping into the "queer" umbrella without their consent ...

Lol right? When they wanna say something positive about gays/lesbians it's always "a queer person", "a LGBTQ+ person", etc. At least in the Gaybros sub I've seen reactions to that, sometimes people post something positive about "a LGBT man" and some of the comments will be like "so is this man lesbian, gay, bi and trans all at once?".

But when they want to criticize and mock others, suddenly it's "the gay community", "the lesbian community", etc. I remember months ago seeing a case on twitter of someone who saw a guy being rude with his mother while showing gay stereotypes. The person made a criticism of gay community as a whole because of that, saying that gay men are rude and mysoginist etc. Funny how at times like this it's ok to assume gender (what if he was non-binary or trans?) and it's ok to assume sexuality (what if he was bi or queer?).

Ok wow that's actually really true. There is a ton of bashing specific sub-communities but only positivity for the vaguely-defined "queer" people.

Yeah, wtf???
