Observations about My Asexual Issues Coverage
Anyone who has read Asexual News or the Philadelphia Asexual Examiner will know certain things do not get commented upon. I cannot say that a different Asexual News writer will not write about them someday. It is just that they have not yet.
If you’re looking for a brief list, I have compiled one.
Sex Positivity
I think anyone who thinks that even repulsed Asexuals have a problem with sex...
Ah, that was needed....
Three days of not staring at a computer screen.
“BEING GAY IS NOT NATURAL!”
“says who?”
“THE BIBLE”
“is that before or after...”

Is My King James Bible Missing Some Text in the...
I have read the New Testament once or twice. I need to know where in the New Testament Jesus tells you which people you can hate. Given that you are sure that Homosexuality is an abomination and that it is okay to hate gays as long as god does, I just have to wonder if my copy of the Bible is missing some verses in the New Testament.
I am an Agnostic Deist and therefore technically not...
Pansexual News Sites
If I can help someone through a search indirectly, I like to. The problem when I saw this result is that I do not know of any Pansexual News sites. Does anyone following me on Tumblr have knowledge surpassing my own?

Whether it be fanfiction, original stories, drabbles, songs, poems, books, or anything that has to do with creative words, then reblog. Let’s gather all the writers of Tumblr together.

Things I Learned from My Classes This Semester
My Fundamentals of Speech Class and in a few cases, my English 102 professor made a few interesting statements which I thought I would share:
In order to avoid the passive voice, use the present tense.
Martin Luther started the civil rights movement in 1969
Einstein argued against World War II
Journalists use the MLA style
Freedom of the Press is not specifically spelled out as one of the...

I love that this search somehow took a person to Asexual News.
Tennessee's Don't Say Gay Bill
If you haven’t followed this story, you have missed a bizarre quote. A state senator, who we can only assume has a college degree, called homosexuality a learned behavior. Although I’m not an expert on biology, I’m pretty sure that this statement missing something obvious. As someone who makes a living through the English language, I am pretty sure both of these words are...
I'm ready for the Ratpure
Especially if the Rapture is full of art deco deiselpunky goodness.
Okay...
And I’m watching Supernatural because they’re featuring parts of the Lovecraft mythos, but I remember why I gave up on this show in the first place. Unlike it’s predecessors, it didn’t quite get the air of mystery required down.
"Shades of Gay" author asking for help on Asexual...
I personally have wanted to do this for a while, but have been slacking on it. The Shades of Gay author and the owner of Narrow Path publishing has her own project in the works. Stephanie Silberstien is a suicide prevention activist in addition to her Asexual activism.
In this case, she needs to get in touch with people who are willing to share their stories. Names are not needed and anonymity...
“I do know this, though: I’m done pretending that the handful of racist gay white...”
– Dan Savage (or: rather, why I will never like him as a queer black woman!)
Dan Savage is a racist d-bag.

*blinkblink*
He’s such a douche.

How much will it take for people to stop kissing his ass because he started the (highly flawed) ‘It Gets Better’ shit?

Three important people came out last week, breaking major ground in terms of gay visibility. Read the article above, it’s quite interesting!
For the record, the owner of Asexual News and the writer of this blog is Asexual. The owner is also left-handed and an Agnostic Ex-Mormon. The owner is also keeping one group the owner belongs to a secret for a little while longer.

lizziegoneastray replied to your link: New survey asks for Asexual participants - Asexual News
There’s no option for people who identify outside the binary. That excludes a lot of people in our community. Actually, the survey as a whole has that problem. :(
That’s very true. I…

Advertisement for a Transgender Chat Room
You do not need to worry. This blog will only promote the Asexual News website, and occasionally other items at all other times, but there is something that I have hosted on the Asexual News servers for a while. Unlike Asexual News, where the intent is to get the site to pay for its own hosting at some point, the TS Peer Support chat rooms are free, but the users do need to be approved.

Asexuals, Religions and Official Viewpoints
I don’t know how many people worry about this. The online Asexuals I’ve run across are usually Atheists or Agnostics. I’ve found a few Mormons, a Pagan or two, and a few people following a the Western World’s truly oldest religion, Judaism.
I know some people are looking for an answer on this. The truth is, there’s not a lot of information out there. Most religions...

lizziegoneastray:
I think we really need an official number on this one. So far, the only information we have on this topic is this informal poll, and frankly, the numbers there are alarming enough that this looks like something we need to look into. If those numbers are anywhere near accurate, that means that…

Finals are Done, Back to Other Matters
At times I think going back to college was one of the worst decisions I could have made. I was subjecting myself once again to student life and putting yet another layer of deadline pressure upon my life. This is cretainly case when the classes start to wind down and the workload increases. In any case, I am done for the next few months and can now turn my attention once again to the things...

I'm an Asexual Separatist Apparently
I have no idea what this means either. I can guess it means I’ve dealt with Asexual issues only or felt that Asexuals shouldn’t be part of LGBT. I do not recall if I either said this directly or merely gave the impression that my beliefs lie along this way, but I’ve never avoided comparisons to LGBT issues. The most obvious one is the the medicalization of Asexuality, which is...

Creating an Asexual Media
Now that the last semester has wound down and I never have to touch a Sociology textbook again, my mind has turned to other matters. The most important of these matters are how I am going to pay the money I owe the college and replace my car, but those are not what I am thinking about. What I have been thinking about, as far as Asexual News is concerned is how to expand the number of people...

Yeah. I’m not going through this word for word or anything. But let me find the more amusing displays of really shocking stupidity.

The Asexuality Movement Started on Tumblr?
I forgot where I read this. I actually think it was another Tumblr post a few days ago. Not being under 30, I often feel I miss the point of this combination blogging and social network platform, but then, I also know that it’s a good place to get back links.
In any case, this bothered me for reasons that have nothing to do with Tumblr or social networking. It’s something that...

(meaning feel free to pass this on).
I am in a class called “Men and Women in Society” and we are required to do a final project regarding something that connects back to sexuality or gender or feminism or basically anything that we can connect to the class itself.
The one thing that bothers me…

Two More Days
Most people are not excited about a move, but the ability to get to sleep before two in the morning and not be woken up by drunken arguments means a lot to me. Of course, I still have one more essay to finish today.

3 More Days to Go -- Another Late Night...
The notice was given today and the landlord demanded money for the last few days. I paid him to make it easier. Of course, I still have to go figure out where the U-Haul is when I leave this place Friday. The landlord made sure he got his money tonight. At least the exchange was pleasant, but I will not be sorry to miss this place.
One reason I will not miss this place has to do with the...

Asexual News Bullying Series -- My Story
I was going to put this on the main site, rather than a blog I started as a promotional tool and a chance to tell some interesting and true stories. (Whether or not you believe them is a different issue.)
However, that site is not about me. The intent was to develop a more active Asexual media. Something I believe we are still lacking. My blog however is a different issue.
My story begins in the...
Only a Few More Days
Thank heavnes that this will be my last Sunday in this town. Of course to be fair, it’s only this particular building that bothers me. Regardless of the reasons, I am eager to leave this place behind me. I’m not necessarily thrilled about the new town I will live in, but it is within walking distance of the classes I am attending.
And no more freaking DJ until 2 a.m. The nearest...
