i believe asexuals belong in the lgbt+ community if they feel the queer label is one they identify with. i'm not willing to debate this, or argue over it. asexuality isn't just "hetero people who don't want to have sex". it's a sexuality unto itself.

while i understand some cishet asexuals have tried to lay claim to spaces that they shouldn't have, i don't agree that this means they should be unincluded in the community at large. if they identify as queer, or not, i will support that.

basically: to me, asexuals have every right to identify as queer, and i will not argue about that, or change my mind.
