The Ace and Aro Hospitality Suite is provided by the Creating Change 2019 Host Committee in close collaboration with TAAAP.
Program Description: We invite Creating Change guests on the asexual and aromantic spectrums to visit the Ace and Aro Hospitality Suite! This is a safe space for people who experience an absence of sexual and/or romantic attraction in any and all ways. The ace and aro communities commonly experience invalidation of individual and shared truths, yet continue to grow as diverse groups of amazing and beautiful people! Come join us in the space that we create to share food, make friends, and have fun! Special thanks to Aces Wild and The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project for hosting an unofficial asexual space at prior Creating Change conferences and addressing this community need within the National LGBTQ Task Force. Sponsored by the 2019 Creating Change Host Committee.
