Asexual Meetups

So lately I’ve been going to some really awesome meetups for asexuals around where I live. And they have changed my life.

You see, I actually learned that there even were meetups for asexuals through T.V. although I wasn’t positive on how accurate it all was. But there I was one day, watching “Bojack Horseman” when I saw that Todd was going to meetups and I felt that I needed to check and see if that was a real thing. So I did.

It was amazing to see that there was. But only when I moved. In the place where I was living, there pretty much wasn’t much of anything and definitely no support system anywhere around there for people like me. I mean, who wants to deal with only knowing people that have a major thing in common through a screen. That’s just not the way that I want to live.

But getting back to the topic at hand, the last two meetups that I went to were totally amazing. It was great being able to hang out with people and not have to worry about “is this person going to try and hit on me” or “are they going to try and set me up with someone else?” Honestly, it gets exhausting when you have to deal with that all the time.

Meeting the people last night and having a common ground, was great. And even though we weren’t all the same; different religions, various places we came from and romantic orientations, we were all asexual. And my sexual orientation wasn’t going to be discounted or ignored.

I don’t know. I guess I was just glad to finally have a place where people understood and I was able to fit in.

I think that everyone deserves that. Whether you’re gay, bi, pan, trans. It doesn’t matter. Everyione should have a place where they are able to express themselves and not be judged.
