'Asexuals (and the etc) cant be included into the community because theyre just looking for nouns instead of doing something useful'. Its a bit ridiculous, and its excellent that they have been included despite views like that.

I just think that at some point this acronym becomes a joke and a parody on its actual origin. You can't append all the ABC to LGBT and expect people to take it seriously. It's totally missing the point.
