http://blogs.montrealgazette.com/2012/01/24/transgender-issues-are-you-a-queer-person/So how do you feel about being called "a queer person"?
It's happening more and more: some gay people are "reclaiming" the word and applying it to all LGBT people.
[...]
Personally, I don't mind if someone wants to reclaim the word "queer," but I don't like the idea of using it to refer to people who might be uncomfortable with it. I don't think anybody has the right to take such liberties . . . but it is happening, whether trans people (or LGB people) like it or not.
