blu3.’s GNARLY SICK temp

i think of... idk. cool people? my people? people that i can hang out with?

yeah thats kinda the correct answer

that is me with my past experiences and also being demi.

Trans tho, trans has nothing to do with romance or sexuality

well there needs to be more trans rep too

i think of unity and love. but i think of all types of love, not just romantic and sexual love.

ah,,,

i think of
'just as bad as everyone else'

I think of colours

i spat out my water-

whar? nah, when i hear lgbtq+ i think of ll my trans and queer friends? and the pretty enbies and cool goths and boymoding girls. and the people who are nice to me and wont bully me for who i am. i do think of loving queer relationships, but i also think of straight-passing ones. and the aroace people in
queerplatonic relationships. and the aromantic people who aren't asexual.

I think of their pride. I think of their voices. The struggles they had for our rights and freedoms.

I’m on the aroace spec. Last pride month, I got a lot of hate to my ask box because I decided to come out as grayromantic asexual. People told me I was delusional, people told me that it wasn’t a real thing, people told me to quit torturing the community by “pretending” to be gay. I was told I wasn’t special and that I’m just cishet in denial.

It hurt. A lot. Why is everyone so accepting until it’s not one of the letters in lgbt?

It made me feel invalid and insecure. It made me think I was a monster. It made me think I didn’t deserve to even speak of the community.

We deserve better. We deserve more than hate.

People died to give us our rights, why doesn’t everyone get them? Including poc, people of religions. Their voices get quieted but they’re important to the community just as the whites are.

Being on the ace or aro spectrum is just as valid as being gay, lesbian, bi, pan, etc. There are a lot of close-minded people out there who have a hard time accepting things they can't personally relate to and people who might not realize LGBTQ is much more than just the gay people. This seems especially true with older generations (Gen X, boomers, and maybe also some millennials even though it hurts to admit that. I like to think millennials aren't as bad as the other two though.) who may have either grew up with a phobic societal view of LGBTQ or a very limited understanding of LGBTQ.

It doesn't make what they did right of course. What they did was phobic. I’d suggest ignoring people like that because it likely came from a place of ignorance unless you want to put in the effort to try to explain what ace is.

When I explain to people like that, I try to keep it simple. You know how some people like guys, some people girls, and some people like both? Well, there are also some people who have no interest or very little interest in anyone. These people don't feel the same urges other people do. They experience attraction differently than others do and that's more than ok.

If they are still phobic after an explanation, then I’d say it's genuine phobic behavior. I know it's annoying and tiring having to explain yourself after a while though and sometimes you might not have the energy or be in the mood to do so, and that's ok.

we deserve better. my people deserve better, yours do too

i just think of be gay do crime
and as an asexual, i have noticed how a-specs seem to be less included and respected than other lgbtq+ people. I may not act like it, but it bothers me a lot.

Two ace streams I mod for (if you're interested)
