As for young people using Queer and GenderQueer? I find that to be true. I also don't think that anyone has touched on the fact that using the word Queer is reclaiming a word.
Is is too much to think that in the next few decades that if we hear Butch and Femme being used less that it too will end up being reclaimed in another generation?

Got to agree here. My straight friends are fine with me being Femme and having Butch partners..they get it.
My gay/queer friends think I am out there in the lunatic fringe...which cracks me up.
I think this is a great subject for this Website. It is relevant and stands alone.
