Let Laura Brashier decide if 2date4love is an Asexual dating site or not

 

Laura Brashier deserves credit for creating a dating site for people who do not want to have sex in their relationship. The woman surived a horrible disease and has very good reasons for deciding not to engage in sex. Brashier cannot be blamed for the media presentation of her website as the first dating site to cater to people who do not want physical relationships. Bloggers and reporters who cover this story have far more to do with how her site 2date4love is portrayed.

How to come out as an Asexual: You're better off asking this question elsewhere

 

The title of this article may be how to come out as Asexual, but that is a how to, the readers will not find on this site. It is not that people should not come out when they feel the need, it is that the situation under which each person comes out are different. Giving advice on how a person can out themselves can lead the reader into a dangerous situation or lure the reader into a false confidence.

When someone decides to come out as an Asexual or anything else, they should do it on their own time. The same person should also have a good idea of what the consequences will be before they do so. The problem with attempting to write a detailed guide on how to come out is that it would take one fairly long book to do so. If such a book were written and such a book probably has been written, it cannot hope to cover all complications involved.

A plea to Canadian federal politicians from Justine Harrison, editor of Asexual News

If you're going to suggest the federal government add a minister for the LGBT community, why not include us Asexuals? Or would you suggest adding another minister for Asexuals? Or do Asexuals not exist to you? If that's the case, then you (NDPers) can't really call yourselves defenders of minorities.

Or if you support the idea of the government adding a separate minister for us, then why? After all, we're minorities too, just like the LGBT community, if not moreso, since we Asexuals make up only 1% of the population worldwide. Or is it because we're such a tiny minority that we don't matter to you?
