Show Notes

The discussion around what we should call ourselves has been ongoing for decades. Should we call ourselves gay people or queer people? This is a question that has sparked debates and conversations among the LGBTQ+ community for years.

Recently, this discussion has been reignited with the emergence of new terms such as “non-binary” and “genderfluid”. Some argue that these terms are more inclusive than “gay” and “queer”, while others view them as unnecessary additions to an already complex conversation.

The debate around what to call ourselves is far from over, and it will only become more complicated as new terms emerge. With the rise of social media platforms such as Instagram, where people can share naked pictures of themselves without fear of judgement or persecution, it's likely that this discussion will continue to evolve in unexpected ways.

The LGBTQ+ community has reclaimed many words over the years that were once used to insult and belittle them. These words have been transformed into symbols of pride and strength, and their meanings have been changed for the better. In this topic, we’ll take a look at 10 words that the queer community has reclaimed, from “queer” to “fag”. Each of these words has a unique history and significance for the LGBTQ+ community, and it is important to understand their power and importance in order to create an inclusive environment for everyone.

As members of the LGBTQ+ community, we should be proud of our stories and experiences. We need to be kind and patient with each other, share our stories, and, most importantly, listen to one another. We need to recognize that everyone has different perspectives and experiences, which can help us learn from each other and better understand one another. By listening to each other’s stories, we can create a more inclusive world for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
