There's asexual awareness week which takes place every year around October/November :)

Dates this year haven't been released yet, but it shouldn't be long now

It would be cool if we could plant it right in the middle of August... that month got shortchanged in the holiday department.

Maybe August is A-holiday.... Eh? Eh? Eh? Get it?

**sigh**

**lowering my head in shame**

Hm, I found AVEN during an asexual-awareness-something, I think it was August/September? Meh.

That was most likely Asexual Awareness Week :)

EDIT: I have been reliably informed that the dates will most likely change this year from the last, so keep your eyes open! AVEN's Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr will announce the dates for this year as soon as they are made public.

What happened to DAVE (Day of Asexuality Visibility and Education)? Think it was also known as AVED, but I always preferred DAVE! Can't remember when the last one was, but I guess it was made obsolete by the growth of AAW.

Also Sweet Asexy Love Day. I think that was a thing too.

Yup, it was. I was actually curious enough to dig up the thread that made me find this site: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.861189-Asexuality?page=1

*reads three posts in that thread and flips a table* This is why I don't go there anymore..

I don't think there is any one official day. Many different groups choose their own days and sometimes even weeks.

The next one is on May 8th. I think the plan is to post a picture of yourself holding a card that matches you.

Ace of hearts: Romantic asexuals

Ace of spades: Aromantic asexuals

Ace of diamonds: Demisexuals

Ace of clubs: Grey-asexuals

We are a full house indeed! I'd say it really suits us! Sorry horrible pun time. xD

Does Queerplatonic count as Aro? I think I'll be holding the Ace if Spades if so.

*edit I also found some neat playing cards in my closet!

I would like to believe that the gray ace / gray aro combination would be an Ace of Clubs & Ace of Diamonds. As a Gray Ace I don't believe I fit wildly on the spectrum somewhere or that I'm undecided as to where I fit in. I experience sexual attraction very rarely in random short bursts with no intention to follow through especially considering how fast the high wears off. A bit of a superpower to me. I'm a thriving happy, healthy, independent person. Same for my romantic orientation. It was there only whenever I was in a relationship. I never really engaged or sought out a relationship on my own, and now that I'm single it just feels more true to my nature. I don't experience sexual or romantic attraction to the point where I'm almost 100% Ace, but I have to acknowledge those very rare, very short moments of attraction and dub myself "Double Grey" or Gray Ace/ Gray Aro to be exact. :)

I'm gray ace / gray aro, and now I'm a bit Confused about card suits for Ace Day, and Card Suits In General. Some sources say Gray A's/ Gray Aro's have always been CLUBS. But now all of a sudden for ACE DAY Gray Ace / Gray Aro's will be sharing Diamonds with Demi Gray's and Clubs will be for Newbies who are still figuring out their orientation. Your thoughts, please :cake:

Do we hashtag ourselves on facebook? I mean so then people can click on the hashtag and see all of us to prove we are not alone. If so is it going to be #acevisibility or #acepride or something like that?

The tag is #AceDay! And that goes for all social media!
