| 3 |  Sorry everyone, you can’t be asexual and gay at the same time. You most definitely can’t be asexual in a strict country too.

| 6 | Can an asexual person be homophobic?
Is an asexual person being homophobic and hating gay people a contradiction since it is hating another person of the LGBT+ community? Not supporting homophobia, this is just an question

| 10 | being queer. For queer, there is often a lack of vocabulary I had no words for what I was. It wasn’t easy finding the words either.
Years later, I found the word pansexual, and that’s the term I used in college to describe my sexuality. I found that pansexuality let me feel the same sexuality towards all genders the same way. Of course, the sexual feelings I had were “none at all,” but I hadn’t figured out that there was a word for “none” yet. It took until I was in my last year of college to stumble upon the word “demisexual” on the fanfiction site “Archive of Our Own” and I looked into it. And looked into it. That demisexual was a part of a larger umbrella of words for asexual. Now I had my words and I’ve kept them ever since.
I am asexual and aromantic.
I had felt broken because the system expects me to have sexuality. Which brings me to the “did you know” portion.
Did you know that bans on conversion therapy do not protect those who are asexual? I’ve been offered conversion therapy by medical professionals 7 times now to “fix” me. In 2017, the UK National LGBT Survey showed that 7% of their 107,850 had undergone or been offered conversion therapy. Asexuals were most likely to be part of this group with 10% of asexuals reporting the pressures of conversion therapy. Asexuality is often treated in health care as a “mental health condition” because “people want sex” is a perceived fact. I even had one doctor hope medication would change my sexuality (It didn’t; they were disappointed)
As far as the original article goes, I don’t get everyone in the LGBTQIA+ Community. I really don’t. Berrisexual? Still valid, but I don’t get it. These people- so many people- have fought to make words to find community. I can go out and find an Ace flag at a parade and know that they get it. I can Google asexual, Reddit asexual, Facebook asexual, etcetera. I can find others that are like me, and I hope that the berrisexuals find others like them because humans may not need sex but they do need community. We all need love. It's just not always sexual. Sometimes it’s offering the bigger half of the cookie to someone else.
To my confusing queer family. I see you. I respect you. I don’t always get you.
I love you.

| 11 | I’m Asexual – and that’s a bit queer
My thoughts on the New York Times OpEd: " I'm Gay, Not Queer. It Matters."
To quote a poet: “I don’t like closets, but you have made the living room an unshared space”. (Denise Frohman – Dear Straight People) Your article “I’m Gay, Not Queer. It matters.” ended Pride on a sour note, reminding me of the infighting in our community. Your experience is valid. Your opinions are shared, just not by me.
I’ve possibly stumped several people with this article's title. What is Asexual? No, we don’t reproduce asexually like ocean sponges (different definition). Yes, when given a choice between cake and sex, we’d choose cake. The definition of asexual, according to AVEN, the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (est. 2001), is that an asexual person is someone who has “little to no sexual attraction”. And I know you are about to say. It’s not a big deal to not want a shag. You are confusing lack of sexual attraction with celibacy; sex doesn’t even cross our minds as a desire. If you want to learn more about asexuality, try the internet. This isn’t what this article is about.
My point is you are gay (not queer), and no one has to look up the definition. Every time I disclose my sexuality, or lack thereof, I have to define what it means to be asexual and explain that it isn’t a choice. In 2026 America, your sexuality comes with the privilege of not having to explain it; mine doesn’t.
After the publication of the New York Times article “I’m Gay, Not Queer. It Matters” there was a lot of talk online where people within the LGBT community thought that some sexualities didn’t belong in the LGBTQIA+ community. One of them was my letter. I am writing this to remind you that it is the LGBT community (not GLBT) for a reason. It is because gay men refused to believe lesbians were legitimate members of the community. Then AIDS happened. And the L’s stood up and became nurses and hospice workers. Lesbians earned their way to the front of the list. I’m in the back of that list. Often confused with “A for Ally” and reduced to that plus sign in LGBT+. That is why I am queer.
I believe the LGBTQIA+ Community should be welcoming. Though I believe we should use the letters, not the word “queer,” to refer to all of us, especially because our elders may have heard it as a slur.
So how did I figure out I was asexual? Well, I didn’t have the word “asexual,” so it took a long time. And I hope that spreading the word A S E X U A L will help someone else discover their lack of sexuality and that it is normal. It started in elementary school when everyone started talking about celebrity crushes. Then in middle school, when people started having real crushes and I… didn’t. And here's the part where I tell the audience that I am asexual and aromantic. Aromantic (not to be confused with aromatic) is someone who has little to no romantic attraction. I got the A double whammy and didn’t know it. Didn’t even have the words for it. So when I wasn’t getting crushes on boys like everyone else, I thought “Maybe that makes me broken”. Eventually, in middle school, I heard the word lesbian, and I thought, “That’s it! I’m not broken; I’m just a lesbian. I’m not getting crushes on boys because I should be paying attention to girls”. Turns out I was wrong, but it felt so good to not be broken. Years later, I realized I wasn’t getting crushes on girls and worried that maybe I was a “late bloomer” that was until I heard another term “Bisexual”. And that was true. I liked girls just as much as I liked boys so maybe I was that. I put away my lesbian pride flag and picked up the bisexual flag.
This is the point where I pause the story and tell you that I didn’t ruin anything by trying out the term lesbian. I honestly thought I was one. Labels for sexuality are like magnets, not stickers. It doesn’t hurt the label of lesbian because I tried it out. It was just not the right fit so I took it off the fridge of my pride journey. This is also the point where I go over the difference between being gay and | 15 |
| 12 | How do you approach the topic of what "type" of asexual a person is?
I have a friend i have feelings for, She is ace and im demi and we have been friend for 6 years. I know she is ace and for me that's fine since for me sex is not a must and i don't care for it
but also for me kissing, intimate placing of hands like on my hips or small of the back, making out, ect are musts
I wanna figure out if she and me would be compatible before i even consider making a move since i have learned recently some asexual people are ok with kissing, making out, placing hands on hips, ect while others are not and idk which my friend is and im unsure what type of asexual she is
She and me have talked about her asexual many times but only really the root cause of it and the stuff that made her realize it and the fact as she put it "sex is something i cant see myself even wanting to do" but that's as much as i know
any advice on how to approach the topic subtly and correctly? i don't wanna use words that come across as insensitive to her identity nor do i want it to be obvious im asking since im romantically interested in her

| 13 | New study: Romantic relationships may not reduce loneliness for asexual people the way they do for allosexual people
I recently came across the following study on asexuality and thought it was interesting. Research specifically looking at asexuality is still relatively uncommon, so I figured it was worth sharing here.
From my reading, the key findings were:
Asexual participants were much less likely to be in a romantic relationship (15% vs 35% of other sexual minorities and 48% of heterosexual participants).
They reported higher levels of loneliness than heterosexual participants (although not significantly different from other sexual minorities).
Unlike heterosexual and gay/bi participants, being in a romantic relationship was not associated with significantly lower loneliness among asexual participants.
Even being in a satisfying relationship didn't significantly reduce current loneliness in the primary analysis.
However, being in a satisfying relationship was associated with lower expectations of being lonely in old age.
The authors note that supplementary analyses suggested relationship satisfaction still had some positive association with loneliness for asexual participants, but the effect was significantly weaker than for the other groups.
The authors suggest a few possible explanations, including that friendships or queerplatonic relationships may play a larger role in well-being for many asexual people, that stigma isn't necessarily offset by having a romantic partner, or simply that romantic relationships are less central to well-being for many people on the ace spectrum.
Link to the study is here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19485506261437286

| 16 | Are You Aro (Advice)?
**Hi everyone!**
Welcome to our weekly Advice post about Aromanticism! Aromantic people experience little to no romantic attraction.
**Do any of these resonate with you?**
\* You rarely (if ever) experience crushes on others.
\* You find the idea of a romantic relationship unappealing, and prefer strong platonic bonds.
\* You've been in romantic relationships but felt like you were going through the motions.
\* You've researched what crushes are "supposed" to feel like, but can't relate.
These are just a few signs you might be Aromantic. Aromanticism is a spectrum, and every person's experience is unique.
\*\*Have questions about aromanticism or your own identity?\*\* Ask away in the comments below, and we'll and your fellow Aro’s will do the best to help!

Specifically in this space asking the same questions over and over and over. Looking for answers only the Ace in their lives can give. Or wanting absolution for things we do not have the power to absolve.
