thoughts on being queer 

i've been wrestling with some ideas about what it means to be queer lately and-

I feel it's a title that we as a non-cis/non-het community have reclaimed in order to create a sense of unity

I really like to use the term both because I have vague gender feelings (which resulted in nothing) but also because I want to feel closer to all the folks who don't identify as both cis and straight

as far as being a measurement of "how much" it goes into, i don't think of queer as a term that cares about magnitude- it's an umbrella term i want to stand behind with folks to stand up and be proud of all of us together

I don't know of a better way to do that- and even if someone doesn't identify with being queer I still want to feel a sense of unity with them regardless of the term

LGBT+/QUILTBAG/is too much for me and this is the best I feel I have

it also doesn't preclude you being other things, more so than queer itself- I look at queer as us, the group, more so than I look at it as me, the identity

i don't know how to approach the harm it's done to folks but- in my opinion reclaiming it is a part of putting harm behind oneself is an important part to destroying the grip that a homogenized society has had on us
