I'm not a Tumblr person and I think "allosexual" sounds stupid but...I don't necessarily think it's bad if someone mentions straight and gay people together when they're talking about people who aren't asexual and are interested in sex. Bisexual/pansexual people, too. When they're talking about asexual people and non-asexual people, it makes sense that straight/gay/bi/pan/whatever else would be included together in the "not asexual" group.

An asexual person whining about how gay people oppress them is definitely idiotic, but if an asexual person just comments for example that they feel left out because everyone around them is sex-obsessed, and "everyone around them" includes both gay and straight people, but the asexual person doesn't single out anyone specifically, I don't see how it could be considered homophobic?

gay men are already stereotyped as being "sex obsessed" and feeding into that with asexual rhetoric is substaining homophobia, you'll also see them saying how much "purer" their romantic feelings are, or how they like someone b/c of "who they are" rather than genitals

it's all very holier-than-thou thinking that never realistically takes into account what LGBT people are already being told
