Queer is not gay. Stop it. You are insulting us.
People are not letters. Letters don’t represent rights.
Please stop using the word queer and the LGBTQI acronym to conflate homosexual and bisexual people with ideological movements. It only fuels homophobia and biphobia.
Let's remember that before it was recycled in the 1990s by radical activists, queer was an Anglo-Saxon homophobic slur aimed at gay men and lesbians, sometimes the last word they heard before being attacked or killed.
So Queer is no longer just a reclaimed slur. It has become the name of a political identity and an ideological project. Its purpose is not merely to describe people, but to dismantle norms, categories, language, sex, sexual orientation, and social boundaries.
That is precisely why it is unacceptable to use “queer” as an umbrella term for homosexual and bisexual people. We are not a political theory. We are not a deconstruction project. We are people with a same-sex sexual orientation. Those who wish to identify as queer are free to do so. But they do not get to rename gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in the process.
