Um, straight people do go to pride too.
Do asexual people belong at Pride?

Yes… I was just saying that’s what used to be was mainly for anyone that wasn’t straight..
I’ve known straight guys going to pride events — with ones I went to — and show their support for the community .. showing that just because they weren’t gay didn’t mean they hated them..
Hope I worded that. Correctly.. I just woke up

I wouldn't keep heterosexuals out because we do need allies but Pride is a celebration and protest for equality.
Asexual and aromantic folks (if that also applies to you), absolutely belong at pride. Like someone else mentioned, the spirit of Pride is to celebrate all sexualities and gender identities that are outside of heterosexual and cisgender. There is no limit to who can/should participate. Gays(TM) and TERFs that gatekeep certain identities are the only ones that need to be kicked to the curb!
I have a quite controversial POV on who should be involved in the LGBTQ so I'll keep my fingers to my self at the moment LOL.

Nah. You gotta share with the class when you raise your hand like this
Ok then here goes nothing. I think that a big factor that bring us together as queer people is being socialy judged and stigmatized for our sexual prefrences. I think an A person is just someone with low libido or has no intrest in sex. How would that be considered life threatning? The straights are not looking at you like a gay or trans person. And it's not punishable in any religion or law. The first thing it comes to their minds when they think of us gays is "Eww they get fucked in the ass".

Do you think they deserve a place in Pride?
As for my opinion I think one of the issues with the asexual label is the variety within their community going largely unknown. I spent a little bit of time getting to understand that some asexual people are attracted to the same sex, but they view sex differently than people who aren't ACE. It could range from repulsion to engaging in sex to please their partner but to them it's more of a handshake.
TLDR you can be attracted to the same sex and still be ACE

Everyone can be at Pride unless they are hateful homophobes. I do think some of the more open-minded ones (ex-religious) can be converted when they realize the whole thing is about rights and not about grooming or whatever shit they think the LGBTQ+ community does.

My libido is just fine.
Did you know that asexuals are equally pushed into reparative therapy as others who are not heterosexual? They are often victims of corrective tape and marital rape? Just read in the "askgaymen" Reddit about a top gay who expected sex from his younger bottom BF who showed signs of demisexuality.

Pride is an inlusive movement. The only ones who are not welcome are people who don’t have love In their toward all people , people who are judgmental, people who are prejudice (toward anyone not just sexuality).
So all sexualities are welcome, if you are Asexual you should definitely go and represent!
The heterosexuals will keep taking up space until all the homosexuals self-exclude. And if we don't say no, they'll keep breaking up gay only spaces until we just go back into the closet.

Is this a response to someone specifically? I'm asking about asexuals (the A in LGBTQIA+) and not heterosexuals.
A lot of asexuals are het-partnered. They still have sex with the opposite sex. Idgaf about how they express their heterosexuality. If u would never be with the same sex, ur straight. Idc how you express that

So, you're then saying that a bisexual man married to a woman is actually het?
No because they're also attracted to the same sex.
I'm talking about ppl who call themselves asexual or claim to be "ace-spec," but are only interested in the opposite sex, only date/fuck the opposite sex.
oh, i just re-read my comment... i see now that you were being deliberately obtuse....
yeah because gay people can't have anything. A whole fucking world out there ppl can push their beliefs onto and they wanna squeeze out the gays.
