      And I need younger people especially to understand that as recently as a decade ago this was basically the entire country’s attitude (and still is in many places, though the volume has gone down)https://twitter.com/ellle_em/status/1407417513726648322 …

      When I talk about how much my family made fun of queer people I always feel like I need to add: 1. we weren't particularly religious 2. we lived in New Jersey, not a red state 3. in most ways, my family was pretty progressive! pro-choice, pro-union, etc.

      Tekla is younger than me (born in 1990, to my 1983) and talks about how everything bad was called “gay” in school. I got that too, but also heard “f****t” being yelled or guffawed every thirty seconds or so. “D*ke” was less common but also used.

      (Side note: Despite the recent “oh but it’s a slur!!” handwringing about “queer,” that was not one I heard often. Like, I was aware it was a word for gay people and of course people giggled when they read it in old books, but it wasn’t being slung around as a weapon much)

      where I grew up, in eastern MA in the '90s and esp. the late '80s, people definitely sometimes used "queer" as a slur ("smear the queer" being a popular playground game of chasing and beating up an unpopular kid), but nowhere near as much as "gay".

      Replying to @ScottMadin @LouisatheLast

      by the mid-'90s though hardly anyone went to "queer" as their first-choice insult anymore, and "f*g" got much more popular. then people would use "queer" sort of sideways, to "get away" with saying a "bad word" and then pretend "no, I just meant 'strange'!"

          the same dodge every generation of high school students discovers with "niggardly", after they read Hamlet for the first time.
