If he's referring only to himself as queer then it's fine, he can call himself what he wants.

If he's referring to other people or same-sex relationships in general as queer then I don't like it. He can't reclaim slurs on behalf of other people, only for himself.

Same goes for any of the other insults that have been hurled at same-sex attracted people for years.

Thanks for the response! It makes sense, ig its the same for "slut". I personally would not be comfortable calling myself a slut even if it is to reclaim something but ig each to their one
