stop calling aro/ace people ‘straight’ or ‘basically straight’ 2kever.

I’d appreciate if people could reblog this, because this is a thing that ace people constantly have to deal with. A huge number of people, especially the L and G (but I have seen it from bi and pan people too) love to claim asexuals are ‘secretly straight’ in order to exclude us in much the same way they try to exclude bi and pan people from the community.

Like I have literally received death threats and suicide provocation for saying that ace people belong in the community and nearly all of them called me ‘secretly straight’ or some variation there-of and I can’t be the only ace person who’s had to deal with this crap. We are not straight.
