Homoromantic, biromantic or trans* asexual people are every bit as queer as sexual people with those identities are. I do dislike it, though, when asexual (or kinky, or polyamorous) heterosexual/heteroromantic people identify as queer. Queer started out as an anti-gay slur (and is still used as one today; just look at the mayor of Troy's relatively recent tweets) and so it feels weird to me for people who don't have to worry about it being used against them in a negative way using it in a positive way. Additionally, the challenges asexual people and LBGT* people face are actually quite different, and to group us all under that one umbrella just because both involve sexualities seems strange. Like, IDK, if someone were to say that the disability-rights movement and the fat-acceptance movement should be considered the same thing because both involve peoples' bodies.

/dislaimer: this is just my opinion, others feel differently, etc. etc.
