5. Thanks, I'm sick of being marginalized by men and "boys" in the queer community.

The article talks about queer people and choses to say "we are the boys". Queer is more than boys. It encompasses a vast community of gender benders who aren't boys.

And unfortunately misogyny is alive and well in the LGBTQIA community. I can't tell you how many gay men, drag queens and trans women (internalized homophobia or misogyny?) who call women "fish". Disgusting and I'm sick of it.
