    Correct if I am wrong, but Assexual people do not like sex but enjoy deep relationships (romance) with other people, right?

    As a gay man can someone tell me why straight people not wanting to get laid has ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME?! I’m so grateful to have organisations like LGB Alliance in 2025 to push back against this nonsense, it’s glorious to see them grow bigger & louder each year…

    Are these people braindead? You can be homosexual and assexual at the same time, do this people think that sex = love? Do they think you need to love someone to have sex with them?

      I doubt any actual gay people support the LGB Alliance, a shitty fake organization that only exists for transphobic purposes. Extremely strong “as a black man” energy from that post.

        Honestly, to be real with you, some lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are just very shitty, as no particular identity makes someone unable to be shitty. LGBT people are human, and humans, be they LGBT or not, can have awful, reactionary takes on things. I’ve dealt with a lot of discrimination from other LGBT people, not just on the basis of being the “wrong type of queer,” but on the basis of race and other things too.

        I don’t doubt that many of the “LGB Alliance” people are just straight LARPers, but to say “no actual gay people support the LGB Alliance” is just denying and distorting how awful, exclusionary, and bigoted the queer community can be sometimes.

          straight white gays, the ones that think pride is too “flamboyant” and refer to the guy they live with in a single bedroom condo as their “roommate” and let straights say slurs around them to prove they’re one of the good ones.

      Asexual people can enjoy sex. It depends on the person. Demisexual people only feel sexual attraction if it’s connected to emotional attachment. Gray asexuals might have sexual attraction some of the time, but not others.

      Purely asexual people who have no sexual attraction may still enjoy sex with a partner on the basis of romantic attachment or the intimacy involved.

      There are also uh…a type of person in the aspec (asexual spectrum) known as fictosexuals, who are only sexually attracted to fictional characters or imaginary circumstances. They’re kinda a controversial topic though.
