Webinar - Ace/Asexual Identities, Expanding the LGBTQIA+ Rainbow - 06/07/21

Answer

(Webinar) Dr. Valerie Glass presents: Pride month celebrates sexual and gender minorities. One notable sexual orientation, the asexual (ace) spectrum, is often left out of discussions of LGBTQ rights and experiences despite the evolving presence of individuals identifying as ace spectrum. Ace spectrum identities encompass individuals who view themselves as notably “different” when it comes to sexual and/or romantic attraction. On one end of the ace spectrum are individuals who have no interest in a sexual relationship or a romantic relationship. At the other end of the spectrum are individuals who may experience sexual and/or romantic attraction in more varying ways (also known as demisexual or graysexual identities). This webinar will present research findings from a study with ace spectrum participants. The experiences of ace, demi, and gray identified individuals, the coming out process for ace spectrum identified individuals, the role of relationships in the lives of ace spectrum individuals, and the inclusion of these identities within queer communities will be discussed.
