Maybe you live somewhere rural or something, I literally never heard it said as a pejorative except in movies, and I hear it plenty. People quite literally identify as queer around me, it's a shining example of reappropriation working. People not getting with the program doesn't mean the program isn't working. For example, a lot of people don't understand basic logical reasoning despite having been to school for a long time. It doesn't mean school is new age bullshit.

Also, the word "tone" is polysemous. Maybe you didn't know, but it makes me think I'm taking the troll bait?

Look, I understand that there's this mentality that taking words back is empowering. What I disagree with, entirely, is that the perception of the word has changed.

You call random men on the street queers or bitches, you better hope they aren't a former inmate.
