EVERYTHING ASEXUAL AND AROMANTIC (Part 1) | The ABC’s of LGBT

youtuber @ashleymardell just released part 1 of her long awaited trilogy on asexuality and aromanticism! this video series is about both asexuality and aromanticism and is part of a larger series of videos called “The ABC’s of LGBT”.

you might be thinking that this is probably just another one of those asexuality or aromanticism 101 videos made by someone who isn’t ace or aro themselves, but that’s the thing. it’s actually not!

unlike other videos, this video series is much more comprehensive, discussing over 40 different ace and aro related identities & topics. in another YouTube first, Ashley reached out to ace and aro spectrum youtubers and spent months collabing with 12 of us to make sure that she got things right and that ace & aro voices were heard.

that isn’t to say that everything in these videos will be 100% spot on. everyone involved is, of course, voicing their own opinions and understanding of things, but again this is where Ashley does other ally youtubers better. she is extremely open to learning and receiving feedback, so if you see something problematic in these videos please let her (or even myself or other youtubers involved) know! she will be making a followup video to address people’s feedback.
