Anyone else feel oppressed by the Q-slur and feel that its widespread use harms LGBT rights more than it helps? It feels like every LGBT-adjacent “safe space” isn’t safe for those affected by the Q-sl (kbin.social)

Anyone else feel oppressed by the Q-slur and feel that its widespread use harms LGBT rights more than it helps? It feels like every LGBT-adjacent “safe space” isn’t safe for those affected by the Q-slur, especially on Pride Month.

I don’t think it harms our rights at all. I understand how many people who grew up in an era where it was more inflammatory might feel hurt by it’s widespread adoption, but as far as rights go it’s not what costs us rights. I’ll also say I think that having an umbrella term for all of us that’s easily said might actually increase our ability to push for our rights.
