Aplatonic is a valid label, regardless of the fact that there’s some misinformation about it out there

Asexuals can have healthy romantic relationships, be in love, and make their partner(s) happy

QP relationships are beautiful, lovely, and no less significant than romantic relationships

Asexuality caused by trauma, dysphoria, mental illness, age, etc., is valid. All you need to be asexual is to not have sexual attraction, that’s it.

There’s nothing inherently wrong about having a relationship that is purely sexual.

Asexuality that isn’t caused by any outside influence is real and valid, too.

You may have identified as ace or aro at one point, and maybe you don’t anymore. Maybe you’re questioning those labels. That’s perfectly fine.

Asexuality is not childish.

People who are both ace and aro are wonderful.

Being ace but feeling romantic attraction, or being aro but feeling sexual attraction, is wonderful too!

People on the ace and/or aro spectrum deserve respect.

and some bonus pictures of aces at pride!

in conclusion, dont let anyone on this dumb hellsite tell you you’re not lgbt. nobody in the real world cares. the discourse only exists on tumblr. so go out there and be you’re ace ass self and dont worry about the bullshit on this site.
