I struggle with it too tbh. Sexual attraction is what takes what would otherwise be a platonic friendship to that level of being romantic. Without sexual attraction, what is your connection to the person? They're just a friend you have a strong attachment to.
I guess if you are willing to form some kind of a "relationship" with the same sex (even if not exclusive attraction to the same), then yeah you are LGBT.
Although I don't understand it, I don't find this "biromantic" or "aromantic" or whatever label quite as offensive as I find all that genderqueer and abiguously "queer" shit (which I really do view as a mockery of LGBT people).
Well I get ALOT more excited to see my crush than when I see my platonic friend. I know that sounds mean but oh well. I also get butterflies around my crush.
Having a "strong attachment" is not the same as romantic attraction.
Am I part of the LGBT community?
