i've seen a lot of discourse around aces and same-sex attracted people saying they're not part of the community. what do you guys think??

I'm gay and I've always considered them part of the community.

>what do you guys think??
Well technically they're not since there's no A in LGBT.
Then again our cishet overlords have decided that LGBTQIAAP++ is now the de facto official standard.
But fuck that it's /lgbt/ and it will stay /lgbt/

As a white Christian heteroromantic asexual cis male, I feel like an ally towards the LGBT community than a member.
But homoromantic asexuals are going to face the exact same discrimination as homoromantic sexuals, and they really don't need the LGBT community telling them they don't exist and you only belong in the community if you fuck people.
Only if you promise to stop posting stupid stuff about how asexual people are magic.

I don't think that the "community" is holistic enough for them to be a part of all of it.

I would have feel sympathy for your case but this is disgusting.

In that case they indeed belong in this community.

Are atheists part of the religious community? Are non-sports fans part of the sports enthusiast community? Are virgins part of the swinger community? Are people who never touched a drop of alcohol AA? Are 2 year olds part of the senior citizen community?

We have only seen real asexuality beyond severe trauma or disorders in gerbils. So no, they are in the tumblr community. They can fuck off.

>"asexuals"
Every "asexual" I ever met was a kinky slut and that's the sad truth.

Nah, it means "I don't want to have sex because I am too depressed or I think I am too ugly for people to want me so I pretend there isn't anything wrong with me"
>are asexuals part of the lgbt community?
I don't see an A in LGBT.
