On the news there was some american talking head going on about the election and of course the usual LGBTABCB&QXTCMFIICI+.....etc came up and the guy said "Queer and trans" - I was horrified I thought the Q word was bad. So is it now allowed?

There are other words that certain groups like to pretend are for them alone. It's a a nonsense of course, but society seems to rumour them.

...humour...

I think it's about taking control of a word that had previously been used as a hate word.

Queer now seems to refer to spicy straights who are stepping out of their gender norms and are taking a walk on the wild side.

LGB is quite sufficient; the remainder of the word-soup is made-up nonsense and causes more divisions than it solves.

the acronym has now developed into something like a DNA strand....

woke and cant

I heard an afro caribbean leddy swearing at a countrymen in terms of knee-jare

and she turned to me and said "I can say that: you cant."

and when Glodwick burnt an Indian said " no they are not indians torching the place: they are peKlies"

and when I squealed that one is not  meant to  use that word, he replied " well I have !"

a neighbours son was a boxer and when he was mugged, he beat up the attacker and said at the end: "go home and tell mummy you have been eaten up by a poof!" - oo-er we said sir to him after that

I catch some queer looking fish at times.

I thought in the LGBTQ.... the Q has always stood for queer 

lesbian, bi-sexual, trans,  queer  etc 

There is some confusion as to whether it is Q for Queer or Q for Questioning......

Whichever it is, it needs to be removed from the LGB.

Nowt as queer as folk.
