*Where Is the Asexual Representation in LGBTQ Pride?*
June is Pride Month, a celebration of the history and contributions of the some nine million lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and generally queer people in America. Celebrations like this matter, as they raise awareness for minority communities. But for too long, activists say, one segment of the LGBTQ population has gone unrecognized: asexuals.
While groups like nonbinary people and pansexuals have received ample news coverage recently, some communities have yet to get their due. Asexuals — or those who sexually identify as not experiencing sexual attraction — say there are still barriers to their acceptance, not only in the mainstream but also within the LGBTQ community, where they feel they belong. Asexuals see themselves under the umbrella of sexual queerness but say they are often met with exclusion by members of the LGBTQ community, who may question their status as an oppressed group.

Ben niet zo'n barricade-type van 'dit moet en dat moet' maar hoop wel mee te lopen in de Pride Walk in Den Haag, 10 juni. Als aseksueel. Blij dat wij/ik daar mee kunnen/kan doen :)
