“I just wanted to share my gratitude. I’ve been single for 10 years. I’ve never been able to explain to my friends and family why, because 1: I didn’t think they’d get it and 2: I honestly didn’t understand it myself. I found this group recently and it has started to take away some of those feelings of being broken or wrong. I haven’t found an exact name for what I am yet… there’s SO many options… but just knowing that there’s definitely something to explain/describe me brings me so much peace. I hope to one day tell my friends and family once I have a better grasp on it for myself. I just wish I lived in a bigger area so I could connect with people in real life, not just through the Internet. Thank you so much for the humor, advice, help, community, and everything else you guys do!!!

“So i just want to share that a friend of mine who has been a huge support in my learning and coming out process recently told me they were questioning their own identity and if they might be asexual. In less than an month they found a term that they feel comfortable with that fits them, and looking back on my own journey, particularly the too-many years i spent believing i was broken, im so proud of how far the community has come. I spent years with a very narrow and constricted view of what asexuality was and i was convinced that i couldn’t be asexual for this reason or that reason, and didn’t come to my current label for almost six years after learning asexuality existed. That a person could come forward with a question and have an answer in such a short amount of time shows how much we as a community have grown and become visible, and im very proud of that. Im beyond thrilled for my friend, and i wish you all a happy early Asexual Awareness Week. Be safe, Be proud, Be YOU.”

“Hi, I would like to ask a question to your followers. I seem to never be attracted sexually to people I like in real life, but sometimes I think actors or people I don’t really know are attractive. I’m not sure if it’s a aesthetic attraction or sexual attraction. Why I feel it only with people that are not “real” (like there are real but not into my life). Is this just fantaisies? Am I still ace? Or another identity in the ace spectrum?”

“Just curious…is there a place for those of us who are… proud to be part of the diverse rainbow… can (sell & purchase) our various rainbow related crafts? Something like, I don’t know… one place that I could go to for gifts & that would help support the artist as well as the rainbow community. I’m not trying to offend anyone by using the term “rainbow”… I just don’t want to leave anyone out… I like the term “QUILTBAG” but not everyone has heard that before…
