A good question to answer that one is to ask if they thing Queer is a slur.
I'm curious what point you want to make.
I'm an older member of the Comm, old enough to have lived through a large chunk of the AIDS crisis but young enough to spend wayy to much time online (yay limnal) and a lot of newbeans who mainly interact online get a bit of bad faith actor brainrot. They claim things like 'queer is a slur', 'bisexual is transphobic' and weird shit like that. Biggest whiplash i had was from someone who claimed 'the q word is a slur' and then in the next breath 'reclaimed' fruit.
Basically their answer to "is the word queer a slur" is a good indication of the mindset.
I am also older... old enough to remember when queer was a slur until we took it back. And fag and dyke and all those.
Words have power and who controls them matters. And few things piss me off more than having people try to take control - without even asking - of words and thoughts that many of us fought so fucking hard to own.
The bisexual one really sets me off.
