Ace Hate - Tumblr Posts
Are asexuals a part of the LGBTQ+ community?
Honestly, I don't know. What I do know, is that asexuals can be accepted without a doubt, but they can also get harassed and picked on, and anything in between. My coming out went rather fine, I even did a presentation about it to the whole class, but despite that I often feel left out of certain situations. Some asexuals may be fine without a full support system, they might not figure out they're ace at all, they might think they just don't like sex, they might not know what others feel about it so they think they're straight, they might not even know what asexuality is.
But some asexuals feel left out. They feel misunderstood. Unheard. Weird. Different. Like they are forced to like that kind of stuff. It can brake up relationships. It can mess people up.
If you feel like aces are hurting the community in any way, please let me know, but from what I've seen, aces only want to be accepted. They are not too pushy or act hatred twords any part of the community (of course, I am talking in general, not about specific people).
So before you begin to judge all asexuals about not being harased like the rest of the community might, or not actually needing to be a part of the community, maybe think of those who DO need to feel like they are a part of something, who need to feel accepted, who need to feel like they are not different.
(This also goes out to aro people, but I don't know much about the topic, my apologies)
