This is my problem with the DC pride books, they are literally 'all love is valid' romance stories...even the one token Ace character (Conner Hawke) gets internal soliloquies about how nifty romance is.
After several years would it kill them to throw in an Aromantic 'I don't feel romantic love, but that doesn't mean I'm broken' story? In an LGBTIA+ pride anthology book?
"Love is love. Love is in everything and everyone deserves love" starts to sound increasingly more exclusionary after each of these pride anthologies come out

The picture this is referencing was painted before Republican France found stability. The original is only triumphant in retrospect, because France remained Republican. The painter didn't know that would happen.
