Dunno if "gay" makes people LGBTQ

calling people gay as a slur implies that it’s a bad thing to be avoided… when kids start to think they might be gay, if it’s had trauma and bullying attached it absolutely leads to self hatred

and that’s a self-reinforcing cycle

I hear people use "faggot" more these days which I think is arguably much worse, considering that the word originally refers to something that is supposed to be burned with fire
