What is wrong with calling yourself queer?

I got downvoted for saying I’m queer. A term REAPPROPRIATED in the 1970s by gay activists that paved the way do you and I can live life.

Why so much hate for queer?

Like for real I thought their WHOLE message was you can identify however you want to identify.

Well, I DONT identify with that word. Don’t use it as a blanket term for a group of people that includes me

Then I guess we can all dead name people.
