Asexual Pride at #WorldPride2025! It was an honour to bring asexual representation to World Pride in Washington DC this year! The asexual and aromantic turnout was bigger than ever, it goes to show the impact that inclusion can make! Thanks Destination DC for having me! πŸ’œ

It was a pleasure to attend the Capital Pride Honours as part of #WorldPride2025 in Washington DC! I had multiple people come up to me and say that they had asexual friends who hadn't felt sure about being at Pride but they were happy I was. That's why visibility matters! πŸ’œ

Asexual rights worldwide! We deserve recognition & protection not just in the UK but everywhere! It was an honour to be at the front of the #WorldPride parade in Washington DC! The asexual turnout was amazing & at such a poignant time. Thank you! πŸ’œ #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

Day 2 at #WorldPride in Washington DC! It was an honour to give not one but three talks at the Human Rights Conference about asexual activism, asexual discrimination & our place in the queer community. Thanks for the amazing turnout! πŸ’œ #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

I WON A BRITISH LGBT AWARD! It's an honour to make history as the first asexual activist to win one, and it's for "Outstanding Contributions to Communities"! Thank you British LGBT Awards for recognising not just my work but also the need for asexual activism! This is a dream! 😭

It's an honour to be the first asexual activist to win a British LGBT Award for my Outstanding Contribution to Communities! The asexual community is such an unrecognised, unprotected group. That needs to change. Our rights matter, we matter, our activism matters & is needed. πŸ’œ

I'm so excited for Pride in London tomorrow! Look out for me in the parade, where I'll be marching with Stonewall! You might even see me make an appearance on the main stage! πŸ’œπŸ–€

ASEXUALS BELONG AT PRIDE! I'm proud to have joined Stonewall again this year in the Pride in London march & I'm proud of our work together in the fight for asexual rights. If there isn't equality for all, there isn't equality at all. πŸ’œπŸ–€ #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

PUT ASEXUALS IN THE EQUALITY ACT! Our rights & protections matter! We deserve to be protected by hate crime laws, from conversion therapy, acephobia, and to be demedicalised. Queer equality can't be achieved without asexual equality. πŸ’œ #PrideInLondon #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike

"People think if you're asexual you shouldn't wear nice clothes, wear make-up or do your hair. And I'm like, what am I supposed to wear, a potato sack, or something?" As number #10 on the The Independent Pride List this year, my new interview is out now! independent.co.uk/lgbt/yasmin-be…
