the goal of the lgbt isn't to only reduce oppression. it's also to raise awareness, because some people might not realise that they might be gay, bi, trans or ace, since our society is heteronormative.

i didn't know that being ace was a thing, and i felt sad and frustrated that i didn't have any crushes or felt sexually attracted to anything. when i found out about it, it was relieving that i wasn't alone. even now when people doubt me or say "you'll get over it", i don't pay mind to them at all, and tell them that asexuals are real, weather they like it or not.
