It highlights the contributions of the whole le***an community, fostering understanding, and acknowledging the ongoing struggles.

Ace Week usually takes place in the last full week of October, starting on a Sunday. It was originally known as As*xuality Awareness Week when it was first held in 2010. It's a week dedicated to celebrating and raising awareness of the as*xual community. As As*xuality has become more widely known about, this week has evolved into a larger celebration of Ace identities across the spectrum, taking on its current name in 2019.

As*xuality is a s*xual orientation and describes people who may have little to no s*xual attraction for others. It's an umbrella term with some other identities including Greys*xual and Demis*xual. *xual
