That whole debate makes me so uncomfortable, mostly b/c, from my experiences, 90% of the time the people calling heteroromantic aces “straight” are doing so to try and force the label onto them, or force them away from using a label they don’t agree with (ex: the whole debate about whether heteroromantic aces count as “queer” or not). (Emphasis on the “my experiences” part, of course; I’m sure other people have seen it happen differently.))
