Is asexuality considered to be in the LGBTQ community?

Yes! Asexuality is definitely included in the LGBT community seeing as they are not heterosexual. Even if they are heteroromantic, they are definitely still in the community as they do not feel sexual attraction. For the person who said that it is not in the LGBT community as they do not feel same sex attraction, neither do some trans* people, but they are included. Neither do some polysexual people, but they are included. Neither do some bisexual people as bi can sometimes just mean any two genders to some people, but they are also still included. You do not need to experience same sex attraction to be in the LGBT community. Saying something like that is actually quite ignorant, and just contributes to asexual erasure in the LGBT community. In short, it is definitely included no matter how many acephobes tell you differently. :)

Yes. Anyone who is not heteroromantic, not heterosexual, not cis-gendered, and/or is intersex is welcome in the community, despite was some particular people seem to insist. You belong here, and you always will.

asexuality is a sexual orientation however it doesn't fall under the category of LGBTQ because it doesn't involve attraction to the same sexual orientation

Yes, it is. The LGBTQ community includes LGGBDTQQIPP2SA (lesbian, gay, gray-asexual, bisexual, demisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, polysexual, pansexual, two-spirit, asexual) and even that is missing some. There's also a whole set of labels for romantic attractions, and countless gender identities. Basically, the lgbtq community intends to include anyone outside of binary heteronormative gender identities and sexual orientations. However, in many contexts, "the lgbtq* community" really just means the LGB community.

Ofcourse! An extension of LGBTQ is LGBTQIA with the A standing for Asexual! Any sexuality/gender orientation that isn't considered a 'default' comes under LGBTQ+ :)

It undoubtedly is. In fact, a more full version of the acronym is LGBTQA+, with the A standing for asexual (as well as aromantic and agender). There are people who deny that asexuality is included, but if you as an asexual person feel a connection to the community, no one has a right to gatekeep your presence in the LGBT+ community.

Obviously! LGBTQ as it's called here has many names actually including QUILTBAG and LGBTQQAA which include Asexuality. Just because it may be lacking in title here doesn't mean it isn't included by those involved in the community and welcomed.

Of course! We accept every sexuality. Asexuals are just as important a everyone else. Your sexuality is valid!

Definitely! if you are not Heterosexual,not hetero-romantic and/or not cisgender you are part of the LGBTQ+ community! Asexuality is welcomed in the community. The full abbreviation extends longer than simply "LGBTQ+" it even goes up to "LGBTQQIP2SAA"

Yes. LGBTQ is the short form of LGBTQIAP: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual, intersex, asexual and pansexual. The LGBTQ+ community is meant to include all the marginalized sexual orientations and identities
