I mean, queer people use about/among themselves sometimes. Over time it might get more reclaimed like "queer" was

But it will take time, either way, and some people will never be okay with the word, as they have too much bad association with it, just the same as with "queer"

I sometimes use it for comedic value, though relatively rarely. I avoid using it among people who I don't know well, though
