@AnnaJ1979@Gwared People who endlessly repeat the canard that "queer is a slur" ought to read the diaries of Joe Orton who, like many of his contemporaries, used it of themselves with glee. But then that's history... oh... wait... you wanted US to learn history. Language is fluid, not static.
@AdeleCarlyon@Brocklesnitch The late Joe Orton along with many of his contemporaries would disagree with you. They used the word gleefully about themselves.

@GyllKing My late father was RAF too.
He volunteered to be radio op for a unit of Tito's Partisans.
He fought fascism too.
He made it through and lived to 2004.
He would seethe with anger to see faux-patriots Farage and Yaxley-Lennon & Co strutting beneath the country's flag.
