    A word is a word; whether it’s a positive or a negative thing depends on the mindset of the person *using* it. Where I happened to grow up, ‘queer’ was never the derogation of choice for a gay person. It simply wasn’t a word I was ever really exposed to until I was around a group of friends who used it as a positive, affirming word. So it carries no sting for me, even though I’m aware of the word’s history. On the other hand, I have a much harder time embracing terms like ‘faggot’ and ‘cocksucker’.
