   We have a new kid on the block, poised and ready to join the unbreakable Wi-Fi code that is the LGBTQ+ community.

   ‘Aces are queer,’ according to one campaigner on the hub. ‘So why do so many people within the LGBTQIA+ community insist we’re not?’ I can’t imagine.

   Let’s have a look at the dreadful discrimination people who don’t get their groove on face. At work, 49 per cent of ace people haven’t come out; in healthcare settings this number rises to nearly 70 per cent. I presume this means they are too scared and stigmatised to announce, either at the water cooler or to the GP receptionist, ‘I don’t like sex!’

   According to one asexual on the Stonewall ace hub ‘every coming out involved elaborate explanation’. But who is the victim here – the person ‘coming out’ or the one who has to listen?

     @Flick I need to tell you all about my sexual preferences (or lack thereof) and if you won't listen or aren't interested you are a bigot
