It doesn’t really matter it’s still used as a slur...
As far as I’m concerned ‘queer’ is pretty much synonymous with LGBT

I know him as "that gay singer" and know none of his songs so really he should be thankful he's a twink!

Is Queer Theory as cringey as it sounds?

It’s the queer equivalent of feminist theory

You’re very out of touch with your community if you don’t understand the word ‘queer’.

it’s the same bull**** as ‘well if women want equality then they should...’ like as if equality is something that has to be earned rather than already given. it’s a stupid argument

Preach it

Wow, just imagine how big they'd have gotten if the public thought they went to the fishmongers instead of the cheese market. They'd be internationally and intergenerationally loved and admired or something.

I'm okay with that, does the "gay community" even have a need anymore? Gays aren't a downtrodden underclass anymore lol. I feel more community with that tattooed weirdo I see on rock music night at the pub, than I do most of the gays from my local gaybar.

Was thinking the same thing but couldn’t be bothered to say it haha

To be honest, in his specific instance, i dont think he’d be half as famous if he was straight. His fanbase came from YouTube and most of them probs would’ve cared less about a young effeminate straight kid.

The allegations made by Jesse describe a terrible event, and I hope those behind it get what's coming to them. But to say that's representative of the West as a whole is as silly as someone who says "The mozlum's r taken over" when they walk past a halal shop.

To say we aren’t a ‘downtrodden underclass’ is an extremely crude over-simplification. I have no idea what your experiences have been, but to say that there’s no need for a pro-LGBT movement is highly ignorant. And anyway, even if we did achieve equality, that doesn’t mean the community needn’t exist.

If you don’t want to identify with the community, fine, but don’t drag them down.

Oh, honey, I wouldn't even know Troye Sivan existed if it weren't for all the media outlets I follow on social media discussing his sexuality

Never heard of him

Why bring up the fact I'm on the right? That has nothing to do with anything, least of all gayness; even (most!) right wing politics are either indifferent or supportive toward homos.
