I made an incredibly cheesy video about this year's AVEN Pride contingent. Check it out:

Hi Jay,
I bet you've already seen this, but it is sooo typical of the hypocrisy of the sex-positive movement, I just have to comment on it.
It is sooo telling to me that CENSORSHIPNation never even bothered to apologize for their sodden treatment of us, but then comes up with the likes of this:
On a less political, but no less controversial note, the first asexual contingent ever is marching in the SF Pride this Sunday. According to the AVEN website, “Asexuality is like any other identity—at its core, it’s just a word that people use to help figure themselves out.” In one of Carol Queen’s recent essays about what sex positivity means to her, she refers to David Jay, a leader in the Asexuality movement: “You don’t have to be bisexual (or trisexual), kinky, non-monogamous, or even sexually active. In fact, some of the most interesting discussions about sex-positivity I’ve had this year have been with a guy who’s busy organizing asexuals into a community of support and affiliation. Yep, you can even be sex-positive if you don’t ever want to have sex, just as you can be very sex-negative indeed and still have plenty of hot sex that you enjoy to the fullest.”
To hear a full exchange of ideas between Queen and Jay, download this two-part podcast at the Asexual Underground blog: Part 1 Part 2
Well, well, I guess the above entry-within-an-article is a belated admittance that it WAS a rather glaring oversight of Queen's to refer to us without actually linking up to us, without allowing people who read about us to get the story from the horse's mouth? Now if only they were decent enough to admit I was right and that it was wrong of them to censor me. Once again I am seeing my low opinion of these people drop even lower than before. What cowardly hypocrites that they cannot look me in the face (send me an e-mail) and just admit: Hey, we thought about it, and you were right, we should have linked up to AVEN to give you a chance to represent yourselves by yourselves. Jay, you will never admit this, CENSORSHIPNation will certainly never admit this, but if it wasn't for me openly bitching about the way Queen downplayed us in her article, this ex post (after the fact) article never would have been published.

Moral of the story: bitching helps.
