My interest in this topic sparked when I attended the 2012 Creating Change Conference in Baltimore. This is the National LGBTQ Conference that is put on by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and aims to promote equality. The conference features a wide variety of workshops and presentations to educate people about the LGBTQ community and give them a safe place to come together. One of the sessions I went to in 2012 was centered around asexuality and the documentary: "(A)sexual". This film looks into the asexual community and the dynamic movement they are creating. The video features the stories of asexual people across the US struggling to understand their identities and build a movement. Prior to the conference, I had never even heard of asexuality and had no idea what the term meant. I am sure there are other people who are also clueless about this topic and I want to change that by informing people about everything that is and is not encompassed in this topic. Learn more about this conference by visiting the official Creating Change website.
