As an older gay male, I grew up with the word "queer" as a derogatory remark, and it was used as such in many hateful ways. How did we get from "there-to-here"? Even today when I hear the word "queer" in the gay community I bristle.

Queer is a more fluid term and more accurately describes me. But I can understand, as I lived in Boston where they used dyke in the same way. That was probably a more offensive term to me, but they embraced it. Seasons change.
