My interpretation of it is that, like with many words that were originally offensive and are now being "reclaimed," it's okay to use if you're a member of that particular culture, but if you're outside of it I wouldn't try it. Most of the gay people I know don't mind saying it themselves or hearing their friends use the term "queer," but if somebody (heterosexual) that they don't very know that well says it, they tend to attribute it to some underlying homophobia.
