I guess , if you are offened by any word its ok to say so, where my problem comes is the use of the word WE, like who has the right to speak for eveyone?

I hear both these words embraced by folks day in and day out. But i do work at one of the biggest LGBT Centers in the US

I can only speak for myself. Many find the word Queer offensive.

Maybe this needs to be another thread, This is a football thread.
