Not gay as in happy

Hi! What’s story behind #queer as in fuck you? I identify as queer and want to use the tag but I was wondering where it first came from so I can be mindful of that.

the occupied line is “not gay in happy, but queer as in fuck you.”  i know it’s been around for ages, though i can’t say i realize whom to credit it to, though i perform believe it’s well over thirty years old at this point-- i’m sure someone who’s more versed in queer theory and/or queer history could verb you a more successful answer regarding the historical context and background of the quote.  

the function of it, at least in my vocabulary for the last ten-ish year, is that it’s a statement of intent, of purpose, of taking up space in a world that hasn’t wanted to authorize us to take up space.  it’s not just a statement about sexuality or gender identity, but about identity as a whole: i’m here, i’m queer, and i’m not concerned with what you want from me because i’m concerned with what i want from me.  it’s a statement about community, because queer is a community that, to borrow from someon

Not gay as in happy. But queer as in fuck you.

    Queer

    Queer

    (adjective | noun)

    This term is intentionally hard to explain, much as is its related term genderqueer. It can generally be understood as an attraction orientation that is definitely LGB+ and possibly fluid. It can also be used as a gender identity term meaning something other than cisgender and usually understood as non-binary and possibly fluid.

    Queer has roots that go back through reclamation and is heavily used by those fighting for LGBTQIA+ rights. While it has gained relatively wide usage in the present, there are still many that maintain that in order to be queer, one must be invested in liberation beyond respectability and assimilation. “We’re here! We’re queer! Acquire over it!” and “Not gay as in delighted , but queer as in fuck you,” are well-liked in the queer community precisely because they capture this spirit of radical liberation.

    e.g. Tasha identified as a queer. He loves hanging out with other queer people.
