Article: "Where is the Asexual Representation in LGBTQ Pride?" (Popsugar)

Thanks for the link! That's an interesting article. I definitely agree that online I've been made to feel like asexuals don't belong in the LGBTQA community, but since I started going to Pride, people have been nothing but welcoming. This year, I'm doing a book signing for my book with an ace hero at my hometown's Pride. I'm also volunteering for Portland Pride again. I've been looking forward to it all year.

The  asexual  representation  in  LGBT  Pride  is  the  color  purple.

@Rainbowhead We wish.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement)

 

Interesting that the colours reprisenting Sex was removed due to lack of the fabric. SO the LGBT+ flag is sorta Asexual too

Cool!

Is it just me, or does the fact that they used the phrase, "lack sexual attraction" bother anyone else? Yes, I enjoyed the article because it highlighted the struggles of ace acceptance, but I dislike that term. It makes it seem like we're missing something, that we're broken, as opposed to normal people who just don't want sex.

But asexuality it is not a choice. "Normal people who just don't want sex " could also mean people who choose celibacy as a way of life. I wonder how else it could be phrased without it making it seem like we have something missing. To me it is a lack of sexual desire that sets us apart so I personally don't have a problem with that term.
