Its 'owning' the word. Taking a bad word and turning it around and hopefully make it better.
The word Gay was a profanity, there was pretty good success in turning it around, until the mid to late 90's when anything negative was gay....
The idea of owning Queer, was to turn it around. It didn't catch on.
