What is with the constant use of "folks" in "queer folks"? Is it offensive to call them "queer people" now?

It’s just a word. People is fine too. Folks just sounds better.
If that were true then they would have written:
"Young folks, folks of color, queer folks". This is not the case.
As one of them queer folks, it just rolls of the tongue easier.
It’s just another word for a group, same as people.
