That having no interest in sex does not in any way ally you with LGB people and I really fail to see how you are in any way oppressed for not having a sexual attraction to anyone.

I can understand how certain aspects of life can be hard for single people, especially if you are single for your entire life. But that is something many sexual people experience and I don't see how those issues overlap with the explicit discrimination of LGB people in many areas of the law.

The only problem I can think of is that some asexuals end up suspected for being gay and I'm speaking from my experience. Fortunately my family isn't homophobic and it's open to the idea of me being gay but I'm not. But lack of interest in the opposite sex makes people suspicious... and what if it will make the wrong people suspicious? Of course it's not an argument for putting asexuals with LGB. I think it's for the best to have separate groups: the T for gender confused ones, LGB for same sex attracted, the A for asexuals and aromantics. That would be very fine.
