Yeah, absolutely.

I think labels evolve over time.

As you said, a couple

years or a few years back of RuPaul, I don't know if you caught any wind of this, but RuPaul got into a lot of trouble for using that word within the community.

Correct.

And I think language is important.

And obviously people still use that word.

It has

become a time where the connotation towards it is very negative.

So we try to refrain from that.

And I think the lesson in particular is language does change.

I mean, when I was a kid, if you used queer, for instance, that was just as derogatory as

the other word that we were talking about today.

So I think now the community has reclaimed it and queer is something that's empowering because it encompasses all different spectrums of the community.

So there's a lot to be learned from language.

And I think

Probably the most important thing, and you touched on something really important, is that there's certain community members that still use that word and are comfortable with that word.

And that maybe even particularly the community that is comfortable with that word is not comfortable with the word like queer, because it comes from a time where it was really painful to hear that word.

Right.

Yeah, I would.
