Oh yes I agree! That's why I like "GSM" as a label because it includes everyone. Heck, some people still think the "T" in LGBT is silent.
I agree with this because it is something even I can not fully understand. I can accept it and not judge it but I can not comprehend how someone couldn't be interested in sex.
Probably cause Im bi too and we are ho's. jkjk
Just to start a new subject..
I think COPPA is bullcrap. I got banned from Wikia's Chat (It was Friendship is Magic wiki's chat), because i was underaged.
I tried to tell them that it was because i was mature enough, And i had my parents permission. But NOPE, They wouldn't listen, and i got banned for 2 years from chat (I'm 11).

Again, this doesn't prove you're mature. Complaining about being called immature doesn't help your case. Plus, this is a LGBTQA discussion. You can't just "change the subject" in a topic, especially one that's not yours.
I have a question for anyone who's asexual: Do you just not like sex? Or is there a belief system that goes along with it?

Today on Tumblr I saw a person describe their asexuality like a doughnut. You don't necessarily mind eating a doughnut and it feels nice when you do, but you don't crave it like everyone else. This probably doesn't apply to everyone, though. As far as a belief system, I'm pretty sure your thinking of celibacy, which is a religious choice. Asexuality is a legitimate sexual identity. I'm kind of asexual myself, so...

Glad to see that we have an active LGBTQA thread. 
I never really understood the premise of having Trans* people in an umbrella of LGBT however, since their issue is more of a self-gender issue, and less of a sexuality one. Not that I don't support Trans* people, of course I do, I just feel like their issues are so much more extreme than mine could ever be, that I feel bad relating myself in the same umbrella as them. They have it so much harder than I ever could.
Just my 2 cents of course.

It varies from person to person. Yes, some people just simply dislike sex, but the reasons behind it are limitless. To give a few:
Some just lack any interest in sex whatsoever - with some people even going as far as having no desire whatsoever to even be in a romantic relationship (usually identifying themselves as 'aromantic asexuals') whereas others can be attracted romantically to people (whether male/female or both) but have no desire to be physically intimate with them.
There are also some people who are actually repulsed by the idea of sex (and in some cases romance) altogether. However, even with this disgust some of these people still have a sex drive and as a result can become extremely distressed by it.
IMO, there's just isn't a desire for it. Some people w/ no prior incidents of sexual abuse & have been in positive relationships before, simply find their lives content & fore-fulled w/out any sexual intimacy.
I don't know anyone that's asexual but it'll be very difficult for me not to express myself sexually- to be intimate & knowing there's a thin border, & how children will need to be conceived through different means.
In the end, if the love is real then nothing else matters.
Well for me personally, the thought of even being with someone makes my skin crawl, it physically makes me feel sick, its very weird, i can accept someone for being attractive, and admitt they look good, but to actually think of being with them or doing anything
makes me feel ill haha
I find myslef too young to even define myself though

well, for me, while the thought of sex seems nice, actually having it is just awful. for a long time i thought my body was just broken. sometimes i still think that. i tried going to doctors and talking about it when i was younger but they were no help at all. all three times they just wrote me off.
most of the time, i don't really think about it. i don't really care about being in a relationship with anybody. i do like to masturbate, but when someone else is actually involved, any pleasure goes away. so, i guess i don't really know. lol. i call myself asexual cause it's the easiest way to describe myself.

That's crazy (not in a bad way!!). Earlier this summer, my best friend told me she felt the exact same way and I didn't know what to say to her because I don't share that experience. She says she wants kids and stuff but she said she would so much rather do it on her own if she could financially support herself and a child one day. It's not that I thought it was weird I guess I just didn't really understand. I'm glad to know that she's not the only one who feels this way, I have to let her know she isn't crazy lol.
Anyways, I'm straight, but my sister identified previously as bi and now she identifies as pan. It made me really upset growing up because she tried to hide it from me. I knew anyways, just didn't want to let her know I knew to avoid her discomfort. I have no idea why she would think I'd judge her at all. I have never used sexual orientation as grounds to judge somebody and I never would. I've grown up my entire life thinking gay was perfectly acceptable and still do. My godfather is gay and my godmother is a man (his ex). I saw my godfather and mother a lot growing up so I never even questioned it at all. I consider myself lucky having been exposed to "unconventional" lifestyles/relationships so young, I think a lot of the reason that people are intolerant today is because they have either never seen it or they adopt their family's outlooks and opinions.
Nice to see a topic like that.
I'm a bisexual girl. I realized this fairly late (when I was 19) but I'm glad I did
I actually believe that there are a lot more homo or bisexual people out there who are either in denial about it or who simply haven't realized it.

That just made me think; Don't knock it 'til you've tried it. xD

I can understand that. I found most interaction with others gross until I found someone I really felt the urge to want to sleep with. I had long-term partners (the longest of my failed relationships being three years) but had no urge to go further with them.

I wouldn't call 19 late. Age 18-22 (standard college years) are typically the years where people are becoming more certain of themselves, after all.
It took me until I was 20 to be 100% certain of my sexuality, even though I knew from age 13 that I wasn't heterosexual.

Am I the only one who thinks there are quite a bit of homosexual undertones in Animal Crossing: New Leaf?
And you can not sit there and tell me that Julian is not designed to be a gay villager. I've heard way too many reports of him sending love letters to male mayors and such
No hate either way

To be fair, nearly everyone I know playing this game is gay or female. I think Nintendo knows their market. xP
I personally love it when Zell says, "Sly and Broccolo remind me of when I was younger, I used to be quite mischievious with my guy friends." xD
It's definitely a lot more open-minded than the previous games, especially given where it originates from and all.
Crossdressing, for instance, while having nothing to do with sexuality (despite popular belief..), is great for LGBT people for a variety of reasons. Either because they're "drag" kings/queens, are two-spirited, or simply don't like dressing in a non-stereotypical fashion. (i.e. society's insistence that females = dress, males = pants, and so on)
But yeah - Julian is definitely flirty towards either sex. And while I'm the last person to claim that being friendly and polite is the same as being flirty.. nobody will ever tell me that he doesn't flirt with literally anyone and everyone. Seriously.
I got the most frickin' homoerotic letter from him earlier, I had to sit there for like 5 minutes trying to think of how this could possibly be platonic only. lmfao. Now I wish I hadn't deleted it.
But here - here's one example of a more tame yet still slightly flirty letter I got when he first moved in:
Now imagine that, but 10x more suggestive and blatantly homoerotic.

Haha I agree completely. But Julian seems to be that way *really* intentionally. First off, he's a unicorn.. he loves rainbows.. his catchphrase is glitter.
Then you take the homosexual letters and more and there is no way around it
(is it bad that I really want Julian in my town now?)

Maybe if he's meant to be a stereotypical gay male, but otherwise those traits have literally zero affect on one's sexuality. That's just a terrible stereotype that society came up with.
And nah - Julian's awesome. Even if you don't want him around for his charm, he's still a nice friend, too. He just seems like he's one of those guys who - if not interested in you romantically - really likes having a close bromance. (or whatever the male x female equivalent of a bromance is)
