🖤🤍💜 A little reminder for As*xual Awareness Week: You belong here.

Maybe you've always felt a little out of step with the way people talk about s*x and attraction.

Maybe you've wondered why everyone else seemed to be experiencing something you weren't.

Maybe you know you're as*xual.

Maybe you're somewhere on the ace spectrum.

Maybe you're questioning.

Maybe you're still searching for the words.

That's okay. 💜

You don't need to have everything figured out.

You don't need relationship experience.
You don't need to explain your boundaries.
You don't need to prove that you're “ace enough.”
You don't need to fit anyone else's idea of what as*xuality looks like.

You get to figure yourself out at your own pace.

And if you find a word that makes you think, “Oh. That's me.” — you get to hold onto it.

There is room for you in this community.

Happy As*xual Awareness Week! 🖤🤍💜

🖤🤍💜 As*xuality: Let's Bust a Few Myths

There are still plenty of misconceptions about as*xuality, so let's clear up a few!

❌ “You just haven't met the right person.”
Being as*xual isn't a problem waiting for the right person to solve.

❌ “As*xual means you don't experience any attraction.”
Not necessarily! As*xuality is about s*xual attraction. Someone can still experience romantic, emotional, aesthetic, or other forms of attraction.

❌ “As*xual people can't fall in love.”
They absolutely can. Romantic attraction and s*xual attraction aren't the same thing.

❌ “You can't be ace if you've had s*x.”
Sexual behavior doesn't determine s*xual orientation. People have s*x for lots of different reasons.

❌ “You're too young to know.”
You don't need to wait for a certain age or have a certain amount of experience before exploring an identity that feels meaningful to you.

💜 The biggest myth of all? That there's only one way to be as*xual.

The ace spectrum is broad, and everyone's experience is their own.

So if you're ace, questioning, or simply learning more: you're welcome here. 🖤🤍💜

🖤🤍💜 Okay, but what does “as*xual” actually mean?

As*xuality is generally defined as experiencing little or no s*xual attraction.

But here's the thing: there isn't one single way to be as*xual.

An ace person might:

💜 Want a romantic relationship—or not.
💜 Enjoy cuddling and affection—or not.
💜 Have s*x—or not.
💜 Experience romantic attraction—or not.
💜 Identify somewhere along the broader ace spectrum.
💜 Be completely comfortable with their identity—or still be figuring it out.

Because s*xual attraction and romantic attraction aren't the same thing.

And neither is attraction the same as behavior.

That's why you can't always tell whether someone is as*xual just by looking at their relationships or life experiences.

There's no “right” way to be ace. There are lots of ways to experience as*xuality, and they're all worth listening to. 🖤🤍💜

Inters*x people are born with natural variations in s*x characteristics—such as chromosomes, hormones, reproductive anatomy, or genitals—that don’t fit typical definitions of male or female.

Inters*x variations are a natural part of human diversity. 💛💜

This Inters*x Awareness Day, let’s listen, learn, challenge stigma, and support inters*x people’s right to dignity, bodily autonomy, and acceptance.

Different bodies. Equal worth. 🌈

🖤🤍💜 As*xual Awareness Week: Edward Gorey

You may know Edward Gorey for his delightfully dark illustrations, peculiar stories, and wonderfully gothic sense of humor. But did you know Gorey also spoke openly about having little interest in s*x or s*xual relationships?

Gorey never publicly called himself as*xual, so we can't know for certain how he would have identified. But looking at his own words and the life he chose, many people today see his experiences as potentially fitting within the as*xual spectrum.

And that's something worth remembering:

✨ As*xual people have always existed.

The words we use to describe as*xuality are relatively modern, but the experiences themselves aren't new. People have lived without experiencing s*xual attraction long before they had a word for it.

Gorey's story also reminds us that you don't have to follow society's expected path of dating, s*x, marriage, and family to live a full and meaningful life.

For As*xual Awareness Week, we're looking back at people like Gorey—and making space for the people today who are finding the words to describe themselves. 🖤🤍💜

🏳️‍🌈✨ Happy International Pronouns Day! ✨🏳️‍🌈

Today, BV Pride Coalition celebrates the importance of respecting and affirming everyone’s pronouns. Using the pronouns someone asks us to use is a simple way to show respect, kindness, and support.

💜 Share your pronouns.
💜 Ask respectfully.
💜 Listen and learn.
💜 Keep creating spaces where everyone can feel seen and respected.

Pronouns are part of how we communicate who we are—and everyone deserves to have their identity respected.

Small acts of respect can make a big difference. 🌈
