Isn't that what the 'reclaimed' part of 'reclaimed slur' would imply? Also it's only homophobic as long as it's predominantly used by homophobes in a homophobic way. The whole point of reclaiming the term is to rob it, and thus them, of that power.
You must see why people who were once bullied and beaten as they were called "queer" would object to it today?

I also saw people being bulled as they were being called "gay" a mere 20 years ago but we seem to have few problems with that being a reclaimed slur now. I see your objection of course. But does that mean we should just give up let the homophobes keep using it that way?
