Huh, sounds like it might have some potential. It's really nice to see highly-valued non-romantic relationships (and between two women, no less) on TV!
Funny that you bring up the thing about aces flocking together! Quite a few of my online friends have turned out to be ace, and now that I've started being more open about my orientation in real life, I've actually had two of my close friends come out to me as well. Do we just have some sort of odd magnetism about us where we all instinctively cluster together?
XD I have no idea! So many of my LJ friends are ace as well, and I've somehow ended up living with two people who I strongly suspect are ace. (they both don't really care what they are and aren't keen on finding out, which is pretty refreshing, but I have to go online to ace out with people)
Haha, my roommate is actually the exact same way! It's one of the rare few things we don't really discuss, but we do occasionally joke that it's nice to know we'll never wind up sexiled.
Yeah, the unexpected LJ!ace presence is pretty cool. I didn't realize you were ace until after I'd friended you for fandom-related reasons, for example. When I officially came out on my blog a while back, a ton of my friends here opened up as well. It's bizarre but pretty awesome.
Yeah, same! As soon as I came out, pretty much half my flist if not more came out as ace to me.
Hmm, sometimes I wish I had someone else to talk about it IRL, because I've ended up becoming the Face of Ace at my university, which means I do a lot of crazy reading (I suppose I did anyway) if people have questions. It's nice that people are asking questions, of course, but I feel like in general our university queer community is very chill. They worked with me to screen (A)sexual at our university when it was doing the cross-country rounds last autumn.
See, I'd love to get involved with something like that. I have no idea what the queer community at my school is actually like, as I am not actively involved (insert a whole lot of rambly thoughts about being a self-described Schrodinger's Queer here), but it may be worth investigating just to raise some visibility and let other people know that they're not alone.
I LOVE our university's queer community. Some community's can be more clique-y than others or have less visibility for people not standardly LGBT, but that doesn't change until people show up to change it. I showed up, and the group I fell into was amazing. They were younger than the members I remember first year (I sort of did a disappearing act myself and returned to the queer community after 3 years of being MIA) and come with way less drama
