Details
Join LGBT Humanists online for an enlightening evening with prominent asexual model and activist Yasmin Benoit, as she explores asexuality and explains the urgent need for action to reduce discrimination and to enhance equality.
Asexual people – also known as 'Ace' or 'Aces' – may experience little or no sexual attraction and/or experience sexual attraction in a non-normative way. Yasmin co-authored the ACE in the UK Report in 2023.
Yasmin says, 'Aces deserve equality. Aces deserve protection. Aces deserve recognition. Aces deserve support. Aces deserve to be heard.' Yasmin's ambition is that this evening, like her report, will stir much-needed conversation about issues facing asexual people in the UK today.
