There are lots of fantastic organisations working to spread awareness of Ace and Aro communities and uplift Ace and Aro voices.
Support is available if you need it and you can find some helpful resources below. Our communities are at the heart of everything we do, and we'd love to share your Pride experiences with others.
All of these are free with the exception of the Gay Village Party which is ticketed. Manchester Pride is a charity and the cost of a Gay Village Party ticket helps us to deliver a safe, community party-as-protest celebration for the whole community to enjoy, as well as funding our free programme of events over the weekend. Vitally, though, your ticket helps us to platform and support the careers of queer artists and performers.

According to a paper by sexuality researcher Dr. Asexuality is a spectrum, and there is no one way to be Ace. Asexual people may also identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or straight to describe their romantic attraction, if they experience this.
Asexuality is a sexual orientation, like homosexuality or heterosexuality. Dating, having sex, masturbating, falling in love, getting married, or having children do not conflict with asexuality in any way.
