It's in there.

The most vocal and militant members of gay society have embraced the word "queer"  with what I consider to be a completely defensive and masochistic acceptance. Since the word has long been used as term of derision and hatred, I personally find it an odd and unacceptable choice. But the lazy media sees nothing wrong in using this derisive term and assumes that every member of gay society just adores being labelled as queer, a word with nothing but offensive synonyms. I think the word queer is every bit as judgemental and inflammatory as the "n"and should be treated with the same kind of rejection. The press will argue that it does not offend all members of the gay community. I don't consider that much of an argument. If a large cadre of like-minded militant  females decided to call themselves the "c" word, would the press as easily use that term in writing up their stories as they do the word queer. I doubt it. I am hoping that anyone who agrees will speak up when hearing this offensive word and promote its removal from our language as applied to the millions and millions of gay men who do not regard themselves odd, strange, unusual, peculiar, curious, bizarre, weird, uncanny, freakish, eerie, unnatural, abnormal, anomalous, atypical, puzzling, irregular, baffling, fishy, spooky, or any of the other words associated with this ugly and scornful term of contempt.
