Thought provoked by LRT, and maybe this isn’t cool, that’s why I’m bringing it up, to feel out my own thoughts on it: I don’t think of LGBT+ folks who are comfortable w/the status quo as “queer.” Queer to me suggests a political attitude about life in the world as an LGBT+ person

not in the slightest. the difference between "gay" and "queer" or even "trans" and "queer" is a world of difference if your homosexuality or your gender identity is precluded on maintaining anything resembling the society we live in now. Pete Buttigieg is gay, not queer.

Exactly, that was the foremost example in my mind too. Thank you!

no problem :) cause, yeah, it definitely seems to me like a substantial portion of an entire generation of cis white gays have forsaken any radical queer liberation for rainbow capitalism and it is very sad :(
