#if you don't understand the fucntion of these phrases/terms/slogans

I think that person saying to reclaim "reject modernity, embrace tradition" "gayly" is a great example of how too many lgbt people on this site don't understand the function of reclamation and give it way too much weight in terms of revolutionary politics and thinking. The same can be said about representation, but that's another convo this site (especially the lgbt whites) isn't ready to tackle.

For now, understand that there are certain concepts and ideas that cannot be reclaimed because they don't function as a way to describe a marginalized group but as an ideology with the sole purpose of keeping those groups marginalized if not outright eliminating them.
