Asexual Pride

I'm an asexual myself and there have been a lot of asexuals parading at Pride.
I'd be interested to know what everyone else thinks but I don't personally think asexuals have any place in Pride unless they are actually gay asexuals.
I'm a straight asexual and I would not feel comfortable joining in the parade although as always I'll be there cheering everyone on.
Any thoughts?

Were they part of AVEN? I don't mind them being there, I feel that Pride is for anyone who is not heterosexual and heteroromantic. So if you are asexual you can't also be heterosexual, because they are both sexual attraction related identities. Asexual people in relationships with people of a different sex to their own have as much right to be at Pride as bisexual people in different sex relationships.

But I am sure there are people who disagree, and also people who would disagree with other parade groups (the military, faith groups etc...) so for me it's just about how we can ensure Pride is fair to as many groups as possible

Yes, maybe post this in the LGBT section?
