I absolutely love it when a community co-opts a term that’s supposed to be denigrating and squelches the offensiveness by using it to refer to themselves. It’s like the linguistic version of pulling off a glove one finger at a time and then smacking the shit out of the people calling you names.
Granted “the LGBT agenda” is less an insult and more of a dogwhistle for bigots, but I still think what you did there is neat.
