@sjdbficcdhjecud I believe they are because 1. what else would the A in the extemded acronym stand for? ally would be reserving it specifically for cis heterosexual heteroromantic people and 2. think of it this way; acearos are not het, meaning asexual and aromantic as their own individual-
I love the argument that the 'A' is for "ally", and not asexual. Like, your argument is that aces aren't not-straight/queer/gay/etc... and yet you're going to include allies? Who by definition, do not identify within the acronym?
Ace/Aro are part of the LGBT+ community. They ARE what the A stands for and always will be. We really shouldn't have to still be saying this, but until the invalidation and discrimination against them stops, we won't stop! #PlaceInPride
@fivefinelegs just because someone's a hetsex aro or ace hetrom person doesn't mean they're a full cishet person because cishet is generally known as cis heterosexual AND heteroromantic. I've been trying to be respectful and explain my point reasonably but you're being an asshole. I'm done
