I'm in the UK and I don't get the sense that it's derogatory (though I'm a straight male myself, so maybe I'm not the best judge) Isn't "queer" the Q in LGBTQ, an acronym that most will happily identify with? Perhaps it _used_ to be derogatory, but it appears has been redefined into something positive.
