Qu**r is a slur.

No, it's clearly about trans icons like Frida Kahlo (is that why she's suddenly become so popular in feminist circles)?

I had an obnoxious "friend" who was all into the performative cultural leftism ( ie pretending to be on the left while only caring about minority group musical chairs and ignoring worker rights issues.)

Person would literally use "trans" as a positive adjective and spam ACAB at barely relevant times in a conversation.

So I started triggering the fuck out of him by replying with "yes assigned cop at birth, go on..." This was when TRAs were trying to take over BLM and turn it into T-BLM.

What's the context?

Short answer: exactly as presented

Long answer: I was reading a book and the author bio at the end was succinct. But the illustrator’s was incredibly long-winded and never stopped talking about being “queer.” Curious, I went to the artist’s insta. Pretty much everything there was like this. (This, specially, being a zine about “trans and queer icons” that folds out into the anti-police poster.) So, I just had a face-palm moment about how this is what’s presented as “gay” to everyday joes—hating on cops and being cringey.

Thanks for the explanation because I was confused, too. I think many of us are raised not to like cops since there's a long history of cops harassing us, particularly "queer people of color". So the anti-cop part seemed on point to me.

the ops point is LGB are sexualities, opinions on cops are not.

Yeah, tbh I don't even get what queer means. It seems to be whatever you come up with. In this case Frida Kahlo and ACAB? shrugs

It's reverted to it's original definition of 'abnormal'. Blue hair? Queer. Not listening to ThE EsTabLishMenT? Queer.
