The reason LGB has coming outs is because a relationship is more than just sex. You're going to go on dates, go to family gatherings, live together, maybe get married, etc. All things that are publicly visible and aren't about sex.

But with asexuals no one would ever know about it if they just stopped fucking talking about it. They're so fucking desperate to be discriminated against that they go around screaming to the fucking world about how they're a minority. An asexual person can live their entire life, go on dates, get married, etc. and no one but their partner even needs to know about it. They would never face discrimination for being asexual because no one would know and no one would ever be able to tell just from appearances or by who that person dates.

No one needs to know about your sex life(or lack thereof), keep it to yourself and your partner(s).

Yeah, this keeps confusing me a lot. I grew up in a fairly conservative/moderate space, and as a young, not out to myself lesbian it was really easy to just be a "virtuous" young woman who didn't mess around with dating. I understand that at some point in your 20s, your family will probably start talking about you settling down and whatever, but you can always tell them that you don't want to and never will - end of story in most first world countries. I really don't understand this extreme focus on telling a bunch of strangers how you feel about having sex in great detail (that none of them will care about, at all). I believe there are people out there who don't feel attraction toward other people (for a variety of reasons, some of them not so good). I still think the reasonable thing to do is just... continuing to not have sex you don't want.
