Now many are discussing a viral article from the UK, which refutes the appropriateness of the use of the word “queer”. The author considers the use of the Q-word offensive. It is worth noting that he comes from an older generation and has been gay for 66 years. This man even compared the use of the Q-word to the N-word, which caused outrage among many people.
Twitter users are actively discussing this topic and most of them are inclined to believe that this word is quite acceptable. And how to relate to this Karl Lockwood, who wrote this sensational article, is his personal opinion and perhaps he thinks so because of his age. After all, the younger generation does not see anything offensive in the Q-word.
