It's interesting that the author chose to title it "The Queens' English". The original dictionary of gay slang was compiled by Bruce Rogers in his book, "The Queen's Vernacular" (1972), also released under the title "Gay Talk". I own a copy. This knockoff, on the other hand, is homophobic trash.

Faggot: A gay man. While it originated as a slur, some members of the LGBTQIA+ community have reclaimed the insult, using it as a term of endearment or powerful personal identifier. Often shortened to "fag."

Excuse me? No.

The whole LGBTQIA+ community now gets to reclaim slurs that were targeted at GAY MEN?! So what can all "POC of color" also "reclaim" the n-word now?!!? So tired of seeing homophobic slurs everytime I try to find a same-sex attracted community, just got an invite to a "q*eer event" 🙄
