Was gonna basically say what oath said
Could just write any ol' good character and just be like "Btw they're ace" I guess?
Your thoughts on the LGBT+ communities.

Okay, I'm just gonna leave for a bit. >.<
I'm just gonna say one last thing though for anybody outside of the LGBT+ communities, mainly heterosexuals, it must be easy fitting in the crowd and viewed as "normal".

it's very possible!
even them just mentioning the word "asexual" would work. obviously it wouldn't have to mentioned all the time lmao but as long as a character was canonically ace that'd be representation.

..... not only lgbt+ people are seen as abnormal.
lol.
We're not like, trying to make you feel bad or anything it's just that aro/ace people aren't oppressed for being aro/ace. You should be happy about that tbh.

idk man
The same way as any other character. There are many personality traits that do not stem from asexuality. Like when gay people are represented, they have other qualities about them other than the fact that they are gay. Same with asexuals. Their sexuality has nothing to do with what kind of character they are.

I'm gay. just fyi
Like imo lgbt spaces or the 'community' is for an oppressed people to come together in the face of people discriminating against them. But my question is WHO is oppression ace and aros, WHERE are the laws specifically made against you, I don't see hate crimes or you being murdered in the streets. lgbt communities were made off the backs of the oppressed ppl poc trans women, lesbians, gay people while they were being killed in streets or being attacked by aids and the government not even giving a second look at that. So my question is why would that include cis and not sga acearo ppl that aren't facing opposition :v
Uh now that the title's changed LGBTQA+ people are cool but ofc every community has its problems
LG community has its biphobes, Trans community, similarly to the ace community has its people who are "more trans than thou", B community I haven't seen much of but there are actually bi people who think that if they're in a "straight' relationship they shouldn't be allowed to go to pride so that's weird

only person here who thinks ace/aro ppl are oppressed is op. lmao.
thats the point what are y'all doing in lgbt if the only 'abnormal' thing is that ya don't feel romantic/sexual attraction

THIS. If you are LGBT+ and you discriminate against any other member of the community, shame on you because you, of all people, should know better. It's a community for a reason, and we're all fighting for equality.

???????? literally could say the same thing about sga ppl and trans ppl but yah alright. only 'abnormal' thing abt me being trans is that i don't identify as the gender i was assigned at birth......?
and lmao ok but since we've already been in the community it's just weird to kick us out. like, it's creating a lot of hatred and ppl being more hateful towards ace ppl which isn't exactly great.......,

lol remember the petition some gay guys made about dropping the t in lgbt :^P
the community is rly big so i guess it's bound to be problematic in a lot of ways but tbh i just don't get involved with it too much because there's a lot of drama in some parts and i'm just not really into ppl telling other ppl that they're not trans enough or some other negativity.....,

I'm pan and I don't ever really mention it irl because I'm in a hetero relationship and because of how much biphobia (panphobia?) I've seen in the community.
I've also never been to a pride event or any other specified LGBT places - mostly because I feel like I would be unwelcome because I'm not "LGBT enough". I realize that rarely happens, but like, all of the stuff I've already seen has already got me feeling guilty enough for being in a hetero relationship, I'll just take what I have and enjoy it rather than stressing myself out.

imo you're not in a hetero relationship just because you're w someone of another gender, you're still pan.
and it sucks a ton that people act like that, to call sga ppl in a different gender relationship basically het is rly offensive and sucky. tbh imo ppl shouldn't be elitist about suffering or oppression but yah w/e idk.
Depends on the interaction. Internet wise or physically interaction? I had a amazing time with the community in los angeles and also my visit with my friend to the gay pride in New York. There's a huge difference than what I'm usually presented on the Internet. Every community has its good and down sides but I ended up finding much more support with physical interaction, especially in learning more about each acronym within the community and hearing stories. A whole lot different compared to a angsty teen/adult that would love to lecture you every minute of their time or forcing you to follow guidelines that ironically makes them abnormal than what they community has been doing in wanting to be "equal". It's kinda like my contribution towards my fellow black community, angry on the Internet but more progressive and civil outside of that(love the debates we discuss during debate).

Well I mean, it literally is a heterosexual relationship. Yeah we're both pan, yes, but we're also a guy and a girl so there's really no denying it. It still doesn't make me any less pan though, so I agree on that.
