    This overlooks the queer history behind Queen. Using the term Queen was historically a perojative against men who were not masculine enough. Its use as a compliment is therefore more accurately described as a reclamation of a homophobic/misyginisric slur, rather than the ad hoc application of royal titles.

    The term King does not have this history.
















  • Idk if you’re being deliberately being obtuse, but the gay community uses these apps a lot as social media. They have group chats, friend lists, friend only conversations, video chat, and all that jazz.

    Several governments and charities have also partnered with these hookup apps to disseminate updates about current events and news in the gay community, such as pertaining to STI prevention and management strategies, legislative changes, and advice on how not to get hate crimed when going out.
