Love this man

I'm American and no one can know how I intend the use of any word, since no one can read my thoughts, so... I can call people queer and all is good?

"Queer" is beginning to come into use as an umbrella term meaning not heterosexual, but its history as an insult means you have to be careful. Unless it's in an academic context (e.g. "queer studies," "queer representation,") or you yourself are gay, it's probably best not to use it.

That's utter bullshit. If it is a bad word, no one should be using it in any context. Same with "nigger" "dyke" take your pick. If a word is ok for you to use it is ok for me. If it is offensive, no one should use it.

I did not mean it as insult (not a native speaker) and I have not problem to edit it. Thanks for pointing this out.

No insult taken on my part, sorry if I gave you that impression. This idea that certain words are ok for certain people to say but not others has been an issue in this country for years. For instance, the word "nigger" has been accepted as taboo for a long time, but many black people call each other nigger frequently. They pronounce it "nigga", only because they drop the "r" in many words, and this is supposed to make it a different word. But, if a white person says "nigga" they are still called racist. Similarly with "queer", "fag", and other words. If a word is unacceptable to say, I believe it is unacceptable for ANY ONE to say.
