International Asexuality Day
“International Asexuality Day takes place on 6th April every year and aims to celebrate, raise awareness and advocate for ‘Ace’ identities.
What are ‘Ace’ identities?
‘Ace’ is an umbrella term that describes a spectrum of sexual identities where a person experiences a lack of, varying or occasional sexual attraction. The term ‘ace’ encompasses asexual people (who do not experience sexual attraction), as well as people who identify as demisexual (and only experience sexual attraction when they have a strong bond with another person), grey ace and other ace spectrum identities. You can find out more about ace identities and access ace stories and campaigns via Stonewall’s Ace Hub.
Someone who identifies as being on the ace spectrum may also identify as gay, straight, bi, lesbian, queer, etc. to describe their romantic attraction (if they experience romantic attraction at all). However, they may not experience romantic attraction. For example, a person who is aromantic does not experience romantic attraction and a grey-romantic person only experiences romantic attraction very rarely.”
