Asexual Pride Asia has been collaborating with A-Spec writers, artists, curators, and thinkers to redefine the global PRIDE experience by facilitating meaningful engagements with and by Aro Ace communities in Asia.
Asexual Pride Asia is a pride event in the Asia Pacific region that aims to raise visibility and awareness of asexual and aromantic (A-Spec) queer issues globally. It is licensed by ANOAQA and hosted by a member organization.
Asexual Pride Asia invites individuals, organizations, and collectives from across the continent to lead this year’s Pride celebration, focusing on the vibrant Aro Ace communities throughout Asia. This is a unique opportunity to elevate A-Spec visibility, foster meaningful dialogue, and showcase the diversity and creativity within our communities. We are looking for inclusive hosts ready to challenge conventions and create an unforgettable event that honors A-Spec identities.
Join us in making a transformative impact this Pride season!

Pride Symposium
A Glimpse into the Journey of Asexual Pride Asia
2023: The fourth symposium delved even deeper into the less-discussed facets of asexual identity with the theme “‘A’ phobia is an overlooked struggle of A-spec queer.” This symposium spotlighted the nuanced challenges faced by asexual, aromantic, and agender individuals, fostering empathy and understanding within the broader LGBTQ+ community.
2022: The third symposium hosted a unique campaign alongside the main event. It drew attention to the fact that the high-profile IDAHOBIT movement was rarely or never inclusive of the A-spec community. This initiative aimed to raise awareness and gather global support for renaming IDAHOBIT to make it more inclusive.
2021:In response to the urgent issue of discrimination, we hosted the symposium “Shout out against Asexual Hate Crime.” This event illuminated the alarming prevalence of hate crimes targeting Asian asexual individuals, igniting discussions on the imperative need for protection and inclusivity.
2020: Asexual Pride Asia kicked off its journey with the inaugural symposium titled “Asexuality is not a myth.” This event shattered stereotypes and misconceptions, emphasizing the legitimacy of asexuality within the diverse A- spectrum of human sexuality. It laid a solid foundation for all their future endeavors.
