Remove "The ace of hearts and ace of spades are used to symbolize romantic asexuality and aromantic asexuality respectively. Likewise, the ace of clubs is used to symbolize gray asexuality and gray aromantics, and the ace of diamonds is used to symbolize demi-romantics and demisexuals."
The Campus Pride article cited does not mention card suit sorting. Though The Invisible Orientation does reference the aces of hearts and spades, the use of card suit sorting is disputed among aces due to the implication of compulsory romantic orientation.

The "gay ear"
Would it be worth adding a section on the disputed/dubious use of ear piercing to symbolize homosexuality? A quick search sources on the topic [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Thanks! 129.242.129.238 (talk) 10:46, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't it supposed to be wearing one unpaired ear-ring in a specific ear? (I never knew which one...) AnonMoos (talk) 21:53, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No citations for “⚦” meaning “transgender”
Neither citation for the paragraph on ⚦ is a reliable source for ⚦ being used to mean “transgender”. Both of them describe “⚧” instead, the accepted transgender symbol. The first source doesn’t even mention “⚦”, while the second source shows the symbol but with no explanation. 122.213.236.124 (talk) 00:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
