I completely agree, i think people are quite ignorant about the idea of asexuality (a lot of people suggest it isnt real, and that people are celibate or frigid etc instead).. I dont see why it cant be part of an acronym, especially now that most heterosexuals are widely accepted in this lgbt community under ally in the lgbttqqiaap acronym.

Not too keen on the acronym in the OP though I'll be honest.. that does seem more to do with sex than sexuality

Actually roughly 1% of people identified as asexual in the 1950s on the Kinsey scale, and national census records shows that the figure has barely changed

LGB(T) as term came from activists, I.e people that had to fight for equality, excuse me if I’m wrong but there’s not many places where asexual people aren’t seen as equal
