  • ACE week

    **October 20-26 is Asexuality Awareness Week, also known as Ace Week**

    This is a week when we celebrate and uplift the voices of the asexual community. This week is an international campaign to awareness/visibility, educate & build community about the range of asexual experiences.

    Ace is an umbrella term for individuals who identify in a variety of ways:

    Asexuality is a sexual orientation where a person experiences little to no sexual attraction and/or does not experience desire for sexual contact.

    Asexuality is just as fluid of a spectrum as other orientations and attractions.

    Like any other sexual orientation, asexuality isn’t a choice.

    Unlike abstinence & celibacy, which are both choices to avoid sex, asexuality is an innate part of who someone is.

    Asexual people have the same emotional needs as everybody else & are just as capable of forming intimate relationships.

    Whether you’re part of the asexual community or an ally, let’s foster conversations, share stories, and educate ourselves. Remember, love comes in many forms—let’s celebrate them all! 💖
