I looked in my dictionary.Same as the word n....r.to deride people with darker pigmentation.These words always remind me of hatred and ignorance.I always think of the nasty people who said you are queer so pissoff.The same way that other minority groups feel when they are told to go away.My question is why do they find it acceptible to be called queer.Who knows one day the word f----t will become acceptible too.

Queer: strange or odd from a conventional viewpoint; unusually different; singular
Actually the word queer has been embraced by the gay community for a long time. Queer theory and all of that. The word f*g might be likened to the n word in that only those inside the gay community may use it but queer is just not that offensive.

I think f.***** is too much, because a f.***** of wood was a piece of wood that burned particularly well in olde englishe. Too much burning. Queer simply means different from the mainstream. Even if I wasn't gay I'd still be queer. Queer is a cool word. We've made the word queer our own, for the gay community at least it's not offensive so much.

"Queer" has always been a derogatory heterosexual term for homosexuals, and I have never been able to understand gays who think it is an acceptable term. We are NOT queer; we're just not heterosexual. "Queer" implies that we are weird, bizarre, freaks, not normal, when that is FAR from the truth. There is the exact same spectrum of personalities in the gay and straight communities. We all have the same problems, we all have the same victories, we all know love and hate and good and bad, and we all want exactly the same thing - to live our lives in peace exactly the way we want to live them.

How about the word unnatural is that a kinder word? What is the specific word you would prefer. One has no say if they are born white or brown, ect., gay or whatever isn't a race it is a chosen lifestyle so I see this as a confused case of wish full thinking.
whether or not you agree with me or not doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a sexual sin forgivable by God. The world may say what you want but it doesn't change the reality that it is a sexual sin in the eye's of God.

Why fight it? Gay has a totally different meaning as well. Meaning of words have always changed through time.
