Erasing Invisibility: Asexuality in the Media
Abstract
Asexuality is one of the lesser-known LGBT+ identities. Despite this, some asexual representation has begun to enter the mainstream media in the United States. Reviewing not only LGBT+ representation, but also LGBT+ activism of the past shows how representation has advanced, but also how far it has to go. Several tropes have emerged in asexual representation that need to be addressed. Reviewing the very little representation for asexuals shows there are many opportunities for media to tell new, better stories about LGBT+ individuals. Overall, the author advocates for not only more diversity in asexual and LGBT+ representation, but for identities to not be the main character trait.
