Is asexuality considered to be in the LGBTQ community?

If we're going to be very technical it depends on which LGBTQ you're referring to. As LGBTQ can stand for "L"esbian, "G"ay, "B"isexual, "T"ransgender, "Q"ueer/"Q"uestioning, in which case it's not a part of it. These days people using LGBTQ often actually mean LGBTTTQQIAA ("L"esbian, "G"ay, "B"isexual, "T"ransgender, "T"ranssexual, "T"wo-spirited, "Q"ueer, "Q"uestioning, "I"ntersex, "A"sexual, "A"lly) when they refer to the LGBTQ community though, in which case asexuality most certainly is a direct "member" of the community. All the acronyms and lists aside, I'd say yes. Asexuality is a part of the LGBTQ community most used these days.

Yes it a sexual that some people find works for them and it makes them feel special and it just the way they think

It most certainly is! Of course, there will always be ace-erasure, same as there is bi-erasure, but we are most certainly part of the LGBTQ community. Anyone who is not straight *and* cisgender *at the same time* belongs in the LGBTQA+ community.

Ab-So-Lutely! :) Asexuals are the "A" in LGBTQIA (although they share the letter with aromantics and people who identify as agender). Asexuals are as much a part of the LGBT community as everyone else! There is some element of "gatekeeping" out there, and there are some people who feel that asexuals do not belong, but they absolutely do. Don't let anyone tell you different! :)

Yes! LGBTQIA+ (the plus is for a lot of sexualities and orientations that if all were given a main letter it would turn into LGBTQIAAADP etc etc, so LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQA, LGBTQIA+ are all umbrella terms for basically anything that is considered to differ for the "norm" or "cisgender heteroromantic heterosexuals." While that may come across at times as being exclusive to that group of people, it's important to understand that it's less trying to be exclusive as trying to be inclusive and binding people together who experience similar struggles and invalidations. Everyone is free to learn more about the LGBTQ community and to join with them either as a part of or as an ally to create a peaceful and equality-based future.

I believe many people find that a sexuality is part of the LGTBQ community because it isn't considered the "traditional norm", but I believe that it should be your decision as to where it belongs. However, the LGTBQ community is quite supportive and will welcome you with loving arms if you decide to come and visit us! *hugs*

Some people may have different opinions on this but I would say yes! Really anyone who isn't cis and/or straight is a part of the community

I would consider asexuality to be within the LGBTQ+ community because it is a sexual orientation that is not heterosexual.

Yes, definitely. It's in the extension of LGBT - LGBTQIA, etc

It is, there is lots of things considered part of the LGBTQ+ community. The letters extend beyond the commong LGBTQ, that's why most add the plus afterwards to include Allys, Asexuals, Pansexuals, Demisexuasl, and all the others.
