It’s come to my attention that a lot of you don’t know what asexuality (ace) and aromanticism (aro) are, which is very sad, because it’s called LGBTQIA+ for a reason. Contrary to popular belief, the A doesn’t stand for ally, that’s stupid. Being an ally doesn’t make you part of the community, it just means you support the people in it, which is basically the bare minimum. These two sexualities can be hard to understand, so I’ll do my best to explain them, although I’m not personally aro, so I will be focusing a lot more on the ace part of this essay, since I have personal experience with it.
