The problem there is the phrase only has one meaning. It will always mean something along the lines of praise Hitler.
Queer on the other hand has had several meaning and most of it’s history means abnormal or different than what is considered normal.
@liontigerwings Reclaiming it gives another meaning, at least in the theory of reclaiming.
