Yes, it is. It is actually LGBTQIAA community and one of the A stands for Asexual where the other A stands for Ally.

Yes. LGBTQ+ is for people who are not straight so anybody that is not straight is considered to be in the LGBTQ+ category

Of course! Every and any sexual orientation and/or gender identity other than straight and/or cisgender are part of the LGBTQ community, and all orientations and identities are valid.

Yes, asexuality is covered under the LGBTQ umbrella. A common extended acronym is LGBTQIA, where I is intersex, and A is asexual.

Yes, of course! Some people choose to say LGBTQA (A standing for asexual/aromanitc) instead of LGBTQ.

Definitely, LGBTQ expanded is LGBTQIPA, and even then it still has more. That A is where you are, and there's nothing wrong with that! People might say asexuality is fake or dumb, but it's not. It's perfectly normal.

Asexuality is of course in the LGBTQ+ community. A lot of LGBT people frown upon it, but that is a very uptight portion of the community. Many argue that you have to be sexually attracted to people to be in the spectrum, but I beg to differ. The FULL meaning of LGBTQ+ is:
L - Lesbian
G - Gay/Homosexual
B - Bisexual/Biromantic
T - Transgender/Transsexual
Q - Queer/Questioning
I - Intersexual
A - Intersexual
Those are just the things summed up in LGBTQ+, just because a sexuality is not in the meaning does not make it any less more important or less validated.
So, yes, ASEXUAL is part of the LGBTQ+ community (:

Of course it is. The lgbtq+ community is designed to be a safe place for anyone who lives and loves differently than the social norm. Seeing as asexuality is often looked down upon by society for how they choose to identify they belong in the lgbtq+ community just as much as any other group. Asexuals deserve to be a part of the community, they deserve to have the same sense of love and acceptance. Given that they are stigmatized they need a safe and supportive place to go just as anyone else in the lgbtq+ community does. Asexuality definetly belongs in the lgbtq+ community.
