can u imagine being the kind of person who looks at photos of a pride march and who’s first reaction is to check if there’s any evidence of asexual people existing there

like option a, there’s ace people at pride, being proud. you have no idea if anyone there is het or cis or otherwise LGBTI. you’re mad at someone being proud of being ace with no other information about them.

this is what people mean when they say that exclusionism is hurting LGBTI aces. If they can’t proudly be ace, even comfortably mention being ace inside the LGBTI community, then we take away their only safe spaces

and like, option b, there isn’t​ anyone being proudly ace at pride and you get to pat yourselves on the back for doing such a good job protecting LGBTI people from…. having to see an ace be proud of themselves. that’s a bit too toxic for my liking tbh
