I finally met a fellow Ace in the wild!!!

I performed at a recital today and a ran into fellow musician that I have not seen for a few years. He is a retired gentleman and during the reception after the recital he stopped me and asked if I had an ace ring on. When I confirmed he held up his hand and showed me his ring. I was flabbergasted and excited. The only thing that I could think to do was give him a big hug. Unfortunately, I had to jet pretty quickly, but I felt so validated. I live in a relatively small area and have never had a single person recognize my ring, let alone that my old friend is also Ace.

It also made me happy that a fellow older-than-teenager (I'm 39, he's retired) are ace. I drove back with such a smile on my face.

Thank you all so much for the fabulous response to my first comic! Here’s “Asexual Things I Did Before Realizing I was Asexual” Part 2.

Commented on something talking about how as an asexual person i don’t always feel safe in lgbt friendly spaces because of exclusionists and this person replied to it, literally proving my point.
