[‘queer' adjective 1. Homosexual. Derogatory

It has a Long History before we were all born.

It’s true that it has a long history then bigots started using it in hate speech against gay people.

I fricken hate when Queer is included in the LGBT abbreviation, and when it's used in place of LGBT.
No-one really uses it apart from activist weirdos (and bigots)
It's just such an ugly sounding word.

But LGBT people use the term to refer to themselves. So why is queer suddenly “cancelled”?

It's an opinion in a blog. Nothing has been "cancelled." If someone wrote a different blog tomorrow saying that queer is positive, no one would write posts or start threads saying that we should all start using the word more often. Jumped up nonsense about nothing, really.

The gays took the word back from the bigots.

The only people who will have an issue with this are the bigots.
No one else cares. Not even the queers

Nah, it's LGBT.
No-one can even explain what queer means, beyond "not straight and/or not cis", which is covered perfectly by LGBT.
