I don't think it's unimportant to have a discussion about asexuality. But I do resent any kind of comparison to homosexuality. Sure, people could theoretically have personal problems being asexual, but there's no oppression or systematic criminalization (religious and/or secular) of asexuality.

So in that sense, as a gay person, I'm not really enthusiastic about asexual people "queering" themselves, because as others have said, it isn't a potentially dangerous "lifestyle" the way homosexuality is.

I know you didn't make that comparison, I'm just saying why I also think some people need to chill about asexuality.

You say that like queer asexuals don't exist.

I'm of the opinion that queer = homosexual or bisexual. So no, I don't think an asexual is queer, by definition.

So an asexual in love with and married to another asexual of the same gender is not gay because they're not having sex? We exist too, you know. It's not like the categories are necessarily totally separate. Of course, that just gives the homophobes even more reason to say "but you don't even like sex why do you choose to be gay"

Hardly all of us are "queering ourselves" when we are queer to begin with.

Anon isn't saying that asexuals can't be gay. Asexuals are not necessarily queer, but they're not necessarily non-queer. It's not the same category for distinction. There are straight asexuals, and they wouldn't be queer, since they're straight. A gay/bi asexual person would be queer, but not because of the asexuality.
