You are really brave to put yourself out there as the public face of an orientation that is so shunned and looked-down-on by the rest of society. I think even the most hateful homophobes find the idea of asexuality MUCH more disturbing than homosexuality; people can grasp being sexually attracted to the "wrong" person (the 'forbidden' is actually a HUGE component of sexual attraction, though few people admit it,) but not to be sexual AT ALL is such an alien, inconceivable concept that they are bound to respond with hostility and hate for a long, long, looooooooong time to come. Anyway, thank you for being willing to do that, and I hope people don't give you too much shit for it.
I like to educate myself about people and just watched the documentary. I am confused about the message and have some questions. I do not want to join the AVEN forum, because my interest is a desire to understand others not in a way of my being asexual continuing on in a dialog. Is there an e-mail contact to base my question too?

Interesting asexual-related video, I will add that on my website too :)
