Just because some LGBT people have chosen to reclaim the slur doesn't mean it can be used a blanket term. You can't deny that queer has a history of oppression and violence. Black people use the n word, does that mean it's not a slur and everyone can use it? No. Not everyone is comfortable with queer being used an umbrella term. Think of the older generation of LGBT people who were beaten, abused, put into medically induced comas to cure their "queerness". It's a slur. Look it up.
