No, sorry, LGBTQIA+ includes "A". I know that some L's and G's want to drop the rest of the alphabet, or think asexuals are some variant of "straight". But you don't get to throw everyone else under the bus because it's suddenly no longer convenient to work together. Civil rights history has been littered with that crap for generations and that doesn't fly very well anymore.
Oh my god, WHY DO YOU CARE? What possible threat does it pose ANYONE to have people who just...don't have sex? Why does it matter? Your stupid, needless outrage proves exactly the point that they should be included.
To expand on the comment by Insult to Rocks, what difference does anyone else's sexual orientation or behavior make any difference to you? If someone approaches you, you have the same option as anyone else in a bar or social situation and you're not attracted to them: politely decline and move away.
And so we see how success poisons a movement. When things are bad, everybody bands together; when things get better, suddenly it's every man for himself.
Also, there's some definite irony is describing asexual people as "fuckers". Aromantic people, maybe. (Protip guys: maybe it might help to get a name I won't misread as "aromatic" every time? Although I'm sure you smell nice.)

Okay. I'll just wait until next month, then. As Hull is City of Culture this year, in July there's LGBT 50: a week celebrating the legalisation of homosexuality in 1967, and Hull becoming Fabulous .
Asexuals welcome.
For all are facets of the gem that is humanity: which refracts the various aspects of such, to become the Rainbow.
Including Hetero sexual people like myself.
Gonna have to shut up over half a million people here in Hull in July, so good luck with that.
this pride month if i see ANY of you fuckers disparaging ace/aro identities anywhere, if you even fucking say the words asexual or aromantic in any context of negativity in any day this June, you have 0% of my patience and respect. this month isn’t for anti-ace/aro bigotry and never will be. shut the fuck up.
"this month isn’t for ace/aro identities and never will be. shut the fuck up."
This makes me think of The Big Bang Theory.

The problem these folks have with Ace/Aro is the idea that they're immune to the discrimination faced by people with same-sex attractions - which is untrue; there are homoromantic aces and homosexual aros. 'Aphobes' especially hate heteroromantic aces and heterosexual aros, whom they see as 'straight'. And I agree that someone who isn't in a homosexual relationship will not experience the bigotry and harassment and outright threats that a gay or lesbian couple certainly will - I am fine with acknowledging that. The question I pose is this: Are we going to create a scale of merit based on who is most-oppressed? Because I can't see that being useful at all when what we really need (imho) is a united front with as many voices to be heard as possible.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
