TOMORROW!

October 23rd, 2024 is the 4th annual Disabled Ace Day!

Disabled Ace Day, which takes place on Wednesday during Ace Week, is dedicated to awareness, visibility, and celebration of the intersections of Asexuality and Disability and advocates for material and social support of Disabled Aces everywhere.

With a vitally important election coming up in the US, we will be talking politics tomorrow on the The Ace Couple podcast by discussing the laws that create marriage inequality in our country for Disabled people, for Asexual & Aromantic people, and for Black Americans.

Obergefell v. Hodges may have allowed for same-sex marriage at the federal level, but it does NOT mean that we have true marriage equality in this country.

We encourage Disabled Aces from around the globe to talk about your own experience, be it personal or political, to raise awareness this Ace Week.

You’re allowed to be a disabled ace. You are not to blame for the desexualization of disabled people, or the stereotype that aces are broken. There is nothing bad about the intersections of your identities. You are amazing and valid.

You’re not bad for being a disabled ace. You’re not bad. You’re not responsible for bad stereotypes, either about your disability or about your asexuality. You’re not at fault, you’re not to blame. You are amazing, and valid, and deserving of all the support and love you want.

You may be mentally ill and asexual, but your asexuality is not a mental illness. You may be disabled or chronically ill and asexual, but your asexuality is not a disability or an illness.
