Is there anyone who would be willing to give me a short overview of the debate? I have seen so many offensive comments about asexuals online, but I really don't understand why. I'm bisexual but completely understand that asexuals consider themselves to be queer too, if queer is just understood as anything deviant from heterosexuality.
So what is it that people are getting wrong? Or is it me who misunderstands? I know good people who have very extreme views on this topic. I just don't see why asexuals (who are wholly non-threatening, even more so than gays or bisexuals - it seems much easier to be afraid of someone of a deviant sexuality than of someone of "no" sexuality) would get so much hate.
