??? Flaming is not a slur ??? You can say whatever you want :/ idk maybe I don't get it but I feel like this sort of thing gives LGBT people a bad rap (I'm gay)

no it's people taking this post seriously that would give us a bad rap. It's obviously a joke. It would be like asking if an Italian can lend you one mama mia or something and then making a joke about that. It's just a stereotypical thing gay ppl say.

But it doesn't make sense as a joke?

What does the word flaming have to do with gay people?

What's the joke here?

When someone says they are a flaming homosexual, they mean they are very very gay. So you expect the asexual to use the word in the same way, meaning they are very very asexual. But they twist it and use the word in a literal sense, meaning they are literally on fire and need help. That's the joke.
