An interview from 2014 with Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie on the set of Community. The colors aren't a perfect match, but I can't think of any other pride flags (besides aro) that it could be referencing

Not a single other ace

I’m currently on my way home from pride, fully covered in ace merch. It was the biggest pride parade in my country with thousands of people. And there was not a single other person with anything ace related there. I’ve really been looking out for it. Honestly, I feel awful and kind of alone..

LITERALLY THE MOST TRUE THING EVER

So yesterday I was in a theme park called Sommerland Sjælland and we ( Me, my mom, and my brother ) were waiting in line for a movie simulator ( It's kinda like 3D, but the chairs literally move around ) and there's was this place where you can buy ice cream, pancakes, and stuff. And there was a sign that said: "You can't buy happiness, but you can buy cake, which is kind of the same thing." and I'm here living for it. Who's with me that this is the greatest and the truest sign ever?

I'm a 42 year old man and I recently realized I'm asexual.

And holy crap everything makes sense when I look back on my life. When I was in High School my friends would talk about the cute girls, who they wanted to sleep with and I didn't share their enthusiasm. I just smiled and nooded in order to gain acceptance. I just wanted to play Nintendo and read sci-fi novels.

I dated a bit in my 20s and 30s and always felt like as the man I had to initiate sex and play the alpha role. But I never really enjoyed it all that much. Sex just isn't a big deal to me at all.

In my late 30s I got married, then things just became more confusing and difficult. We had a child together and we divorced soon after because she stole a bunch of money from my family. She went to jail. Believe it or not that was a huge relief to me because I no longer had to pretend to like sex.

A few months ago I stumbled across a blog about asexuality and everything started to make some sense.

I'm still learning and I love you all.

Ace progress flag concept (could be a symbol to fight against acephobia within the LGBTQIA+ community)

Sounds better than most propositions I've gotten so far... 🤔

Help please? I tried to draw an Ace dragon after almost 10 years of close to 0 drawings, and I'm scared I'll mess the colouring if I try it! (I don't colour drawings usually) References, reasoning and sources in the comments

My Dad said something that upset me today- I could use some comfort and validation tbh.

I’m 19F, heteroromantic asexual, sex-repulsed. I’m out to most of my friends, and I feel like it’s important to me to be somewhat open about who I am. But it’s complicated with my family; I’m sort of “halfway out” to them. I haven’t used the word asexual with them (I’ll get there), but we’ve had talks about how a traditional marriage and family is probably not in the cards for me, how I don’t really have physical attraction to anyone, and how I’m really not interested in dating someone right now. I feel like they probably know I’m ace but we haven’t discussed the issue in terms of sexual orientation. Because it’s important to the story let me say that I know for sure I’m not ever having biological kids.

Basically my 2nd cousin is pregnant and my family was talking about how excited my great-aunt and great-uncle are to be biological great-grandparents for the first time. Cute and all, but that whole side of the family is going a little baby crazy. My Dad, in the course of the conversation, had some remarks about the importance of children to older people. Two stood out to me. He said that the most important biological purpose of life is to reproduce. Later he said that the couple’s other two grandchildren had “failed them “ since one is childless and the other has only an adopted daughter.

I started to get upset. Dad asked why. I said “I guess I’m a failure” and went outside to cry because I now feel terrible. One of the worst things a young adult child can hear from their parents is that they’ve failed them. Now I feel like I’m failing my parents because I’m ace. I feel so guilty for my asexuality. My parents are hard to deal with sometimes but I still love them and I want them to be proud of the person I’ve become now that I’ve grown up. I want to tell them I’m sorry, I can’t help it, I really can’t help it. But I don’t know that anything I say will do any good if they are hurt and if I’m failing them.

My younger brother is straight afaik, maybe one day I’ll be an aunt. Then my parents will only have one failure child.

God, being asexual isn’t easy.
