Cool!! Haha, that's still awesome though! Raising awareness is great. It is nice to see other asexuals here, I agree. (I'm curious, do you have an account on AVEN?) Yeah, but I'm a lurker and I don't think I've ever posted. I should though. My username on there is Sockmonk iirc. You aren't coming on search for me. Oh well. If you lurk enough, you might have seen me around, I'm Ellie J (Well, now +Arielle... the + is a joke with another member) and I'm on the project team (My username is in pink, like mods are in green).

Huh... I could've sworn I signed up. If not, I will, definitely.

Me! I just, um, have to remember to do laundry this weekend, 'cause both my purple shirts are dirty.

I've added you to the list, Ellie, and popped 'asexual' in the group name since it seems silly to leave it out now- though maybe this would be better simply as the sexuality thread or something like that. EITHER WAY- I'll be wearing purple on October 20th, even though I'm pretty sure it'll be far less obvious why I'm doing that here in the UK? Oh, and what on earth is going on with Don't Ask Don't Tell? Congress didn't get rid of it, but a judge did, but the government wants her to hold off...? I think? This may have already been linked but this It Gets Better video is pretty amazing.

I'm going to be wearing purple. :D
Anyway, as for DADT - I think it helps to know how a bill works in the US.
Basically, it has to go through a ton of different things before it becomes a law.
Also, Ellie, I do have an AVEN account but my username is just Sock. Sorry about that!

This may have already been linked but this It Gets Better video is pretty amazing. Yaaaayyy! Thank you! Maybe a better acronym would be a new one I came across, QUILTBAG? Not well known, but I love it because it is hilarious. It misses the pansexuals though. Then there is OGSM, Queer, The Queer Club (My sis thought this up), Rainbow Clan, *other variations on rainbow* I really have no idea, I'm just as confused as you are... which I shouldn't be as I live here and I took political science. I really need to finish watching that youtube video. I'm going to be wearing purple. Anyway, as for DADT - I think it helps to know how a bill works in the US.

My Political science teacher should of played that XD. Though I do know this already from elementary school/Jr. High. Though the federal Judge doesn't have a part in that? I think I found you now! XD Left a message just in case. Oh, I just noticed the "feel free to PM" by some peoples names. Can I have that added to mine?

I seriously doubt I would know a lot of things as well as I do if not for it. Yup, you found me! :D --- Anyways, as for wearing purple... I plan to, but idk if I'll leave the house lol. In case I don't, my FB and twitter accounts are all in purple.

I'm wearing a purple shirt and a tie with purple on it. =D
Aaand the queer student group on campus had a "flashmob" at lunchtime today. We sang gay songs and handed out purple ribbon to people who didn't have purple and took pictures. I'm glad it went off well, 'cause we only started planning it yesterday evening. XD

You know, I'm starting to hope this happens next year too. This day has been great. I also love how some sites, like Tumblr, is showing their support and is in all purple. Woo! That is cool actually. I love these extensions, I'll have to take a picture. So I decided to go with: A purple extension that I made into a streak A shirt with purple on it A purple star that I clipped on a belt loop and played with all through class. That is awesome!! Please do post pics.
