dear people who think the A should stand for Ally,
the definition of an Ally requires you to not be part of the group you’re allying yourself with. by definition, if you are part of the LGBTQIA, you cannot be an Ally of the LGBTQIA. also, if all you’re doing for LGBTQIA people is stealing their spotlight and talking over them, then you are not an Ally of the LGBTQIA.
the A stands for Asexual and not Ally for a reason.
this has been a PSA.
(this can also be applied to “allies” of other minority groups)
*asexual/aromantic spectrum, but otherwise, YES!
sorry, it wasn’t my intention to exclude aromantics (and grey-A etc). thanks for pointing that out. the A stands for the asexual/aromantic spectrum.
stands for aroace spectrum and agender, yes.
