I generally use queer.

It’s often used in the names of university programs (e.g. queer studies), so I think it’s been pretty well reclaimed.

It is also intuitively inclusive of romantic minorities, which gives me the sense it will continue to be inclusive as the aforementioned acronym continues to grow.

An aside, I’m also all for reclaiming the t-slur (I am trans) but I don’t use it unless I am certain the people around me won’t be hurt.

This was a very wordy article and I’m not sure I got anything out of it. It’s in our best interests to act in long-term thinking but politics favors short-term thinking. Whatcha gonna do about it?
