Gay Rights 質問

Do あなた personally find the word 'Queer' insulting & offensive when referring to LGBT population in general または is it quite acceptable to あなた as a perfect substitute for the LGBT which is an acronyme after all?

I must say I'm not sure whether to consider the word 'Queer' as an insult または not any more.There was even this world famous gay drama TV series/show entitled 'Queer As Folk',both UK&USA version.Even some gays&lesbians do refer to themselves as queer so...

Of course I meant 'acronym' & not 'acronyme'.Sorry 'bout that!BTW,I used to have C in English,sometimes even B!

I personally don't like the word Queer. It just doesn't sound like a nice word and it sounds weird.
But for the most part, people use the word in a positive way, so I don't think its insulting または offensive.

Yeah I'm not really a ファン of being called queer. It's usually not something that's used positively. If other people want to be called that then fine, but not me.

I personally don't like it, but if others want to use it to refer to themselves, that's fine. Ultimately, it depends on the context.

I just think others within the LGBT 'community' should be mindful that not everyone is okay with being called queer, または calling it the 'queer community.'
