"Queen" has historically often been used as a slur against specifically gay men in American culture, the OP's context is an example of that.

Yeah, as an American (the South, even) I can tell you that somebody angrily calling a gay couple queens if she is not herself part of the LGBTQIA+ community would not generally be something accepted here. It is a term many queer people embrace for themselves, but is still often used as a slur by an aging populace and not something a straight cis person should say.

As a Virginian, I absolutely feel the pain of New Jersey Democrats. The way the party always shits its pants with awful centrists the second they lose a national election...

Easily one of the absolute best songs of the early college rock era of indie/alternative rock.

I wish more people realized just how awesome Rilo Kiley were, I revisit their sadly sparse discography all the frickin time and it is always rewarding even if Jenny would only grow and mature as a songwriter from there.
