So apparently now on tumblr you get banned for saying you think aces shouldnt be allowed in lgbtq spaces? Which is true they are a separate thing and dont belong there but whatever

It's okay if you love someone and it's okay if you aren't able to get those feelings. People are different and it doesn't mean you're broken.

I ACTIVATE MY ACE RIGHTS CARD

[anasexualslytherin-blog]

why i would rather stay in the closet than come out to my family & friends + a side story :)

so, I was talking to my mom the other day about the LGBTQIA+ community (she said that she’s fine with it but ‘it’s a conversation between them and God’) and it turns out, that my step dad is very homophobic.

last summer, he took my sister to California because she’s always wanted to go, but when she came out as bisexual, the rainbow keychain that my step dad bought her went missing. turns out that he threw it away. he was very very angry. and he sees the LGBTQIA+ community as people who have mental illnesses.

i am so scared that when i tell them that i’m asexual, they’ll send me to a therapist and will have me put on medicine, so i am choosing to stay quiet. luckily i’m going to college soon and there’s an LGBTQIA+ club there.

also my friends. I love them like family. but when I even mentioned asexuality, they looked at me and said ‘don’t convert’. it upsets me that if I choose to come out, I wont be treated the same by my friends.

*side story* when I went to my orientation for college, I met with the girl who started the club, she asked me my orientation and I told her that I was ace, she hugged me and said I was valid (that’s when I started crying, right in front of the cute trans boy)

!!!positivity section!!!

to anyone feeling unloved by their family and/or friends, it’s okay because I love you and I am so proud of you!

Much love,

An Asexual Slytherin

My fellow aces and demisexuals and anyone on the ace spec. Dont let anyone tell you that you are fake or invaild. That ace people arent opressed. This isnt a goddamn competition. Were all worthy to be LGBT.

We are not weird for being ace. Or havent found 'the one' to prove us otherwise. This is how we feel. This is what we are. And we all have our different experiences with it.

this month is pride month, and today is asexual pride day, according to the calendars.

I just want to say that you are valid, valuable and loveable no matter what part of the ace spectrum you’re on. you can and will have a fulfilling and wonderful life out there, and there will be a day when you think to yourself that “this has been a good life”.

things get better. I know it looks dark right now, but you also have to remember: so much of this will change, and so much of it is different from area to area, online to real life. there are people out there who are going to accept you for you, and they will love you for you.

you are not broken for fitting under the ace label. you are just one of a thousand stars, each unique in their composition. there is no “level of queerness/LBGT+/gayness” you have to have to fit in. you are not a monster, unloveable, worthless, invalid, or anything else along those lines because you are ace.

celebrate yourself. if you can’t, celebrate others. if you can’t do that, celebrate quietly, in the small ways we all seem to find.

your experiences are valid, they are not worthless. what you have to say, and what you bring to the table in the community is valuable. you are not alone in these things.

there are people out there who will defend you and help you. things get better, and I know because I’ve watched it get better. people can change. I’ve watched people defend my sexuailty before, and I’ve done it myself.

I hope that there will be a day where that will no longer be needed. I hope there will be a day where I will not need to give a ten minute lecture on my sexuality, why it doesn’t need to be a secret, why it’s valid and as real as any other, why it’s not just “being straight/gay/bi”, why it’s not just “for attention”, and all the other quirks that come with being ace.

we are not broken for being who we are. we are welcomed, and although we may to explain ourselves, our experiences are valid.

you are loveable 💜 🏳️‍🌈 we are asexual, loveable and proud.

(obviously this was written as someone who’s ace, but this post applies to anyone under the umbrellas of ace OR aro OR both. I jsut used “asexual” for simplicity’s sake)
