Even within the LGBT community, many people don’t even know what asexuality is, let alone aromanticism, and misconceptions run rampant. The ace movement is still in its very early stages, but the organization Asexual Outreach is working to spearhead it via awareness and education.
In their campaign video on IndieGoGo, activist Julie Sondra Decker (aka Swankivy) points out, “In a society like ours, that’s loaded with sex-compulsory messages, asexual and aromantic-spectrum people often spend their formative years learning that there’s no place for them. When everyone tells you that you’re broken, you’re far more likely to crack.”
The ace movement as it exists today was largely founded by David Jay in 2001, when he launched the website asexuality.org. It’s believed that about one percent of the population is asexual—a substantial minority, but only recently has the internet allowed enough people who self-identify as asexual to connect and form communities.
