RE: The word Queer
There is no rule forcing you to use the word queer. I have friends who use it and friends who don't.
While there may be radical groups on the extreme left who might force the issue, you should just ignore them. Extremists will always exist on both the left AND right.
It doesn't mean that all liberals or conservatives are extremists. Neither does it negate the good intention of wanting to reclaim a once derogatory term.

RE: The word Queer
First off, let me say that I fully understand the weight and negativity you are associating with the use of the term 'queer'. And despite what I or others may write to try to change that negative feeling, it's possible that feeling will never go away.
I've had that same negative feeling when hearing or being calling queer, but I've decided to force myself to actively change my attitude about it because I fully support the move to take back the word and change it from a negative to a positive. And the shift in society, while slow, is actually following as younger groups now feel more empowered to use the word queer.
It takes time, but taking ownership of a word that once was used to hurt you is very liberating.
Lastly, as for your objection to being lumped in with the LGBTQ crowd, if you know the sting of being called queer, then you know that there was a time not too far back when being gay meant isolation and persecution. Banding together was one of the only ways to have enough numbers to fight for representation and change.
Just because things are much better now doesn't mean we should conveniently purge the other letters who are still fighting for better rights. We know the pain of rejection… Let's not make the mistake of rejecting others who have fought for equality alongside us. -

RE: "The person below me" game.
Thanks for the recommendations!
As for TV show- I'd like to recommend a really exceptional comedy about the afterlife. It's called The Good Place.

RE: Jeff Sessions argues it’s legal to fire someone for being gay; courts overrule
Brilliant news! :cheers:
A stunning victory and much needed push back against an administration that CLAIMED to be pro-gay but is the exact opposite!

RE: "The person below me" game.
Yes, I'm a fantasy fan through and through. :cheesy2:
Let's see, the last good fantasy comic I'd recommend is a really fun title from image Comics called SAGA. It is sort of the love child of West Side Story and Star Wars with a side serving of Lord of the Rings thrown in. But there's more to it than that.
For fantasy book, the latest good one I've read is A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab. Alternate worlds, magical mayhem with a touch of LGBT thrown in. Well worth a look.And now, TPBM likes horror books/films/comics and will share a recommendation or two.
(flo I'd recommend The Folding Star by Alan Hollinghurst as a different kind of m/m book, but NOT as a romance. More like obsession)

RE: THIS or THAT: the game
I've enjoyed my share of post-apocalyptic stories but I'm more interested in how we got there, so the Apocalypse is my pick.
(flozen as to your metaphysical conundrum, I'd have picked THIS since it implies something close to me, and I'm not the covetous sort, so you can keep That.)
Now, pick your porn studio: Bel Ami or MEN
