I was thinking about this last night as I was trying to sleep. And feel free to read my tags too. I included some more information on my thoughts there
Asexuals and Aromantics were kicked out of a community they were welcomed in 10 years ago. We were told to make our own community.
Some of us are still fighting to be part of the LGBT+ but this post is NOT about that. This post is about this.
We were told to go make our own community.
And yet people are still attacking us. People are still treating us like shit on posts that have nothing to do with the LGBT+ Community. We get threats. Are told no one cares.
So, even if we made our own community, the people who kicked us out will, and are going out of their way to attack Ace/Aro people. But they refuse to admit that they are just Aphobic. That it was never about the fact that cis heteroromantic/sexual aro ace people are in the LGBT+ Community.
IT was just about hating us as a whole.
And this comes from an Asexual within the LGBT+ Community.
I see it every day with how people treat Good Omens. I see it on every Ace/Aro Pride Post.
To the people actively attacking Asexuals for being happy and proud in their own community they were forced to make:
If it’s not your community, why the fuck are you taking the time to hate them like straight people hated you? Do you not see the parallels here?
