There is a need to expand the LGBTIQ category. I would suggest LGBTIQA. The A being for people who dont have sex at all.
While not disenfrachised in the marriage equality debate, the asexual community believes the wider community needs to celebrate abstinence. There are plans to organise an annual march for the sexually inactive to generate acceptance of asexuality. Abstinence courses are planned to be added to the school curriculum.
The asexual community wish for an inclusive and tolerant society, free from obsession with activities that take up less than 0.01% of the duration of each persons life.
Would be funny if it wasnāt true - when my son was learning about sexual reproduction they did include the A for asexual, not for abstinence but for those who werenāt attracted to either gender.
Also Q can stand for Questioning, which I think is a useful category because it can take a while before some people are sure where they stand on the sexuality spectrum.
Well if itās vague, then I guess I should rephrase.
Adding Hetrosexuality to an acronym that covers the rest of the spectrum makes the acronym pointless, because then it just means everyone.
In which case I canāt see any use for the acronym at all, unless, and I canāt stress this strongly enough, it means everyone but otherkin.
ā ā ā ā those guys.
