That is the headline for article in China Post. I have to get out more…I haven’t heard someone say “queer” in a long time.

Boo hoo! Nobody will screen the queer film I wanted to see!

(A Journey to Haifa, a documentary about the (literal) pilgrimage of a gay Baha’i Filipino filmmaker, and the conflicted feelings it inspires (since his religion opposes homosexuality)

Despite having quite a large number of gay friends, I’m actually not sure what the prevailing attitude toward the term queer is. My understanding is that it’s basically been superseded by the slightly more specific term LGBT (sometimes LGBTQ, with the Q being queer, so we’re sort of working in circles there).
