'Claim the right to exist' - hear hear. I'm asexual and I still too-often hear 'asexuality doesn't exist'. I hope that one day people will recognise it as a legitimate orientation, but we have to facilitate that change as individuals. One day none of us will have to 'speak out' anymore just to show that we exist - on the whole, we're on the path to becoming a much more open, tolerant and accepting society. Continue your awesome work - i love watching the beaverbunch vids.

o grrr!!!! i totally had a great responce going and then my computer was stupid and i lost it.... now i have to try to do it again. anyway i just wanted to say that your video was inspiring and breath taking. im straight so i dont know how it feels for those that come out to their parents and friends and community and have to tolerate the riddicule and harrassment that comes from their lives, but it do look forward to seeing the day where nothing like that happens but until then its great knowin

i like this. but what about pansexuals?..

@SharmyyBarmyy Asexuality is a lack of sexual attraction to either sex. A lot of asexuals still want to form close romantic relationships - it's just not based on sexual attraction. Others have no desire for romantic relationships at all. I'm gay asexual (or 'homoromantic') as I prefer emotional and physical closeness with girls. Check out the site AVEN (or the new collab channel Hot Pieces of Ace) if you're interested in learning more :-)

@zanzibel asexual? does that mean that ou dont find anyone attractive or you're not sexually interested in anyone?

[stardowl]

@kadeclark I was born & raised in the LDS church. The church does not accept homosexuality in any way. My Mom & Dad were even asked by the church 2 go house 2 house in CA 2 try 2 get ppl 2 vote yes on prop 8. Its sad how after so much persecution themselves, the LDS church shows hypocrisy by doing the same 2 others. In the church I was never good enough. Ppl say i'm going against everything I believe, but I disagree. life on earth is 2 find total happiness, & I have found that.

@jen43a: Wow, you should be so proud of your bravery. My experience with the LDS is extremely limited. In fact, I just saw the documentary 8: Mormon Proposition today. I'd love to hear more about your story.
