hey you guys know what’s shitty!!!!

my ace/lesbian friend went to a pride festival today!!! im super happy for her!!!

the shitty part is that she left an hour in because she was scared of getting punched. for carrying an ace flag. at pride.

someone threatened her. at pride. because she was ace.

i dont wanna dabble in ~discourse~ but hey!!! maybe don’t make people scared of the community that should make them feel safe!!!! thats my hot take!!!!

yes i know she was a lesbian, and she should’ve been at pride for being a LESBIAN not an asexual. @applejuicewerewolf i saw she’s a lesbian, but did you see the part where i said what that person did was wrong?? i guess not. i’m saying it’s wrong, but what she did was also wrong. and i don’t hate ace people. they’re just not lgbt.

you guys seeing this shit

Love how people are saying “Well aces make people uncomfortable” when the fact of the matter is someone THREATENED HER for being ace REGARDLESS of being a lesbian.

And op added in the notes that their(?) friend was also wearing a lesbian flag shirt. So it would have been pretty fucking obvious this person was also a lesbian, since they were wearing the ace flag as a cape (and presumably didn’t have any sort of jacket on).

But, hey, I guess aces shouldn’t be welcomed at pride, even the ~otherwise lgbt~ ones. (/s)

Any holy shit, look at the fucking notes. Rebel/blaze is there saying that this ace lesbian shouldn’t have been threatened but that she shouldn’t have been celebrating the ace part of her identity because that’s “not appropriate” and is bound to make lgbt people feel unsafe.

But it’s only about the cishets, right?

Exclusionists are in the notes talking about how this didn’t happen but they’re conveniently ignoring how other exclusionists are reacting to it, basically saying that it’s the lesbians fault because she shouldn’t have been showing ace pride. Y'all are basically saying it didnt happen but if it did it was their fault and for that you guys are fucking gross

To all the ace exclusionist s out there:

If anyone of you comes up on my blog saying aces can’t be at pride, I’d like to politely provide them with a counter argument: you’re an idiot

First of all,

Many of you personally are excusing violence against the person discussed above. She was afraid of being punched at a fucking lgbtq+ event. That’s not okay for you to fucking dance around like it’s nothing

Second,

Aces are oppressed enough as it is without your ignorant exclusionist bullshit. Pride is about creating space for people of all orientations to feel safe, aces included. It’s not about banging people, it’s about FEELING SAFE IN A SOCIETY THAT OFTEN STRAIGHT UP PENALIZES YOU FOR NOT BEING STRAIGHT OR CISGENDERED. Ace is a sexual orientation, one that falls into that category. Therefore, pride should be the perfect place for aces.

Also, the ace exclusionist arguments are the stupidest thing too. How the fuck do ace people make other lgbtq+ people feel “unsafe”? Answer: they don’t. Aces are the ones who feel unsafe here. You’re just making up excuses that are thinner than tissue paper

What for? I don’t know. But just because you don’t understand someone that doesn’t mean it’s okay to shove them out.

Stop excluding aces you shitheels

proof that its never just “cishet” aces they want out
they come for queer aces, they come for gay aces, they come for trans aces
they come for demisexuals, grey-ace, aromantics
these people want to HURT US

Adding onto this but lgbtq+ has a plus at the end that is meant to include everyone else who is not “straight” like come on guys can we not eat each other alive?

It’s really depressing that this is such a huge argument because aces don’t seem to be as loud as others (imo).

Aces when they explain they are ace, are often asked if they were raped when they were young. Some were, some weren’t. Some get raped to become “fixed” just like a lesbian or gay would. Aces get that same “mental disease” excuse or even the phase excuse of “saving it for the right one?” or even that we are simply “broken beyond repair”. Like can we NOT.

Pride is supposed to celebrate all sexualities not just who’s the gayest of them all. If people within the lgbtq+ spectrum are afraid of aspects within that same spectrum because they’re not in the mainstream group, there’s a huge problem that needs to be addressed. Pride isn’t just gay, bi, trans. Pride is everyone and anyone who identifies outside the norm.

Aces are just as valid.

Say it with me:

**ACES ARE VALID**
