Questioning My Sexuality 🏳️‍🌈 (questioning@toot.lgbt)'s status on Thursday, 29-Dec-2022 02:54:11 JST Questioning My Sexuality 🏳️‍🌈
- Ian M. Noone
@ianmnoone So a few people from France commented on the French version of this post ( https://toot.lgbt/@Questioning/109591836465971252 ) It seems that “Pédé” is very much still an insult but is sometimes used playfully within the LGBTQ+ community. Another thing I have noticed is that for the most part pride associations in France seem to use LGBT+ and not LGBTQ+. I am wondering if "Queer" is maybe not as common a term in general over there. I will update as I find out more.

  French Translation for more visibility maybe?: Comment traduisez-vous "Queer" en français ? Google dit c'est «Pédé» mais il semble avoir plus une connotation plus négative que "Queer" comme s'il n'avait pas été réapproprié. Il semble encore être utilisé fréquemment comme une insulte. J'apprécierais que quelqu'un qui a une meilleure connaissance de la langue et culture françaises puisse me conseiller si ils est approprié d'utiliser le mot «Pédé» ou existe-t-il de meilleures alternatives?
