Seeing the word queer will always ruin my mood immediately, even more so now that the woke straights have been trained by the woke LGBTQ+ to use that word rather than gay, lesbian, or bisexual, and they've been made to fear using any other word, so when you tell them you don't like that word, you can feel them getting frustrated at you in that "Well what the fuck am I supposed to use? Everyone keeps telling me something different!" kind of way. And they'll go ahead and keep using "queer" because they know that the queer activists can hurt them.

And they tell themselves that the people who don't like the word "queer" are old and confused and shouldn't be taken seriously. And in this way they justify to themselves using the word "queer" even though a literal LGB human being has told them that they don't like being referred to with that word.

"Queer" to me is the symbol of people lying to themselves. It's the emperor without clothes.
