The reappropriation of terms like this by us queers is a way of neutralising their negative connotations. However, used by straight people in a similarly jokey way doesn't work and still has the whiff of prejudice and 'you are 'other'' about it. Just like a white person calling a black person 'nigger' will always be beyond reasonable use, although the black community use it freely amongst themselves.
