In fact, I’d expect that if one were to try to use “queer” as an insult around Cambridge, one would at least initially have difficulty conveying the intended meaning.
You are very optimistic. I expect that even in your area, you could easily accomplish the feat by making a disgusted face and preceding the noun with the modifier “fucking”.
Speaking as a former queer Cantabrigian (who has since moved to a different town): your expectation is entirely correct. Indeed, the “fucking” is optional; tone of voice will do the job quite well.
(EDIT: If the downvoters clarify, either in comment or PM, what it is of this comment they want less of, I might comply with their preferences.)

Well, yeah, I guess you’re right about that.
