Offensive Words For LGBTQ+

Queers is the new faggot and faggot is just a standard insult.

 

I use queer to describe myself often. I would be very pissed off to be called a faggot.

 

I also use Queer as a self identification label. Faggot, poof and dyke are the one's I find offensive the most.

 

I think the community has managed to take back queer and use it as a self-identification label, I like the definition of the word because it's so broad. Fag in the UK isn't bad because it describes a cigarette but faggot sounds pretty aggressive. I also hate the word tranny. Its just one of those words you hear and cringe. I think it's because it's always been used to insult, we never claimed it as a community because we have transgender/transsexual. Its said by ignorant people with the intention to hurt.

 

I don't like Queer tbh and fag, I don't like any connotation of as smoking is a big no no for me anyway.

 

I don't take so much offense on a particular word but rather in meaning and behavior. In my opinion you shouldn't build up a list of words that will automatically make you insulted. Rather, try to understand in what way and in what state of mind a given word is said. If the purpose is to insult or humiliate then you could reasonably be offended but I personally just rather think that it's not really worth to the trouble to be offended. A person who purposely tries to offend someone says a lot more about themselves than about you or anyone else.

 

For me it all depends on how they're used. I'm not sensitive to language. Only if they're used in a derogatory, condescendingly, or otherwise unfriendly way. I care. other than that. If a friend calls me a fag in a joking way I know they don't mean it like in a bad way.

 

I feel that Fagott And cocksucker are the most offensive to me!

 

My friends and I also use words such as poof, fag and faggot quite matter-of-factly. I think it's not the actual words which are offensive, but how you convey your ''message'' and I've found lesser words or descriptions, such as my family's preferred use of the word ''tilted'' to describe someone who is LGBT to be much more offensive or when they use the word 'faggot', which although is rare, it is just expressed in a very disapproving or homophobic way.

 

Well, if it's clearly an insult, I would be pissed off, even with the word "gay". But I'm tolerant with my friends. In my native language (portuguese), there's one word that straight and gay people would refer to gays. Is something almost translated as "faggot", which I don't really like, but it's really common here in Brazil.

 

I don't like the word faggot, not because of its meaning or something like that, just its sound. Otherwise, I'm ok with most every other insult. I think that because English is my second language, most of the insults don't carry the same weight as it does in my language, if that makes sense.

 

I hate carpet muncher. It's just tacky and offensive. I identify as Queer so I don''t care if someone calls me that. I also don't like Homo or Lesbo, they just sound so annoying, but I am not overtly offended by them.

 

I like queer as a word to identify with, and faggot sounds more like an insult ... that being said, I do love the word "faggot" itself and I think it's a fun insult but I wouldn't want me or any of my friends to be called it.

 

I don't really find any particular words offensive. I understand that some of them, when used by some people, are intended to be insulting, but I don't really care, at least not when they are directed at me.

I don't identify with the word "queer" at all and I never use it. My friends and I sometimes use the word "dyke" in a joking manner, but I'd never call someone I didn't know that, because some people do find it offensive.

If I need to identify myself in a more serious manner, I just go with lesbian.

 

I find it most irritating when people say 'a gay', as in "Oh I love Mike, he's a gay, gays are always so funny"
However, it is difficult for someone to offend me in reality so I don't know if there really are any words that someone can use.
In fact, the other day I saw written on a gate outside the local school - [name] is a fag and succs c*ck - the most offensive part to me was the spelling of sucks.

 

One that I hear often lately is pickle smoocher

 

Faggot, He-she, and 'It' really grind my gears. But maybe that's just me... I don't get offended very easily.

 

Faggot, poof, dyke, Ponce, camp, Queen, Nancy, pillow biter, fairy, arse bandit

I use some of these when joking around with friends, but I'd never use them with malace
