    Use the ol’ timey word for it and call them queer. Start referring to conservatives as “the queers” just to troll them

      The actual queers are gonna hate that. Maybe they can call another queervention (or was it queervalcade?) and get back to us on using it for trolling.

      Hopefully one of their ambassadors will swing by and share an opinion. My Gay Agenda says, “In usage of the word “queer,” stay where you are and wait for help.”

        As a bisexual British person I absolutely support the idea of returning queer to it’s classic meaning. There’s also the option of just using both meanings. Context will establish which one you mean.

        The Republicans are a right queer bunch, unlike my fellow queers in the LGBTQ+ community.

        Stop using queer as a bad word. The word you are looking for to describe Trump and the other magas is “pedophile”.
