“sorry, I can't bring myself to embrace the Q word”
You’ll find very few gay men over a certain age who don’t find it as offensive as the N word.
“Queer” is what hundreds, maybe thousands, have had shouted at them as their teeth were knocked out and their noses flattened.
Like the friend I visited in the hospital in 1982, all his incisors gone and one eye damaged to uselessness.
Mark, I would appreciate you not using that vile word. And don’t dick me around with “reclaimed” or “language evolves.” This is a PTSD level issue. My watch tells me my heart rate went to 135 when I read it.

We are gay. We are not queer.
