damn... i'm so sorry about the abuse. uffff...
but i thought that queer had long been reconquered from slur status? been hearing it uttered proudly since at least the 90s. the Q in LGBTQ. no?
ah, shit, such a minefield... this is precisely why i have to ask. im sorry if it was offensive to you.
acquaintances: i know this married couple: a trans woman and a trans man. she calls herself queer, and they call themselves a "heterosexual" couple, but like that, with the quotation marks, know what i mean?
anyway i haven't asked them, but i think if i called them a straight couple they might take it as an insult, as an erasure of their identities or something? anyway, they're very cool people, and smart as fuck.
