“There is diversity within the asexual community with many adopting additional terms to explain their sexual orientation with respect to romantic desires or types of relationships (Prause & Graham, 2007; The Trevor Project, 2019). However, there has been a lack of research on asexuality, despite growing calls from within the asexual community for increased visibility and awareness (Brotto et al., 2010). Even less is known about asexual youth. Using data from The Trevor Project’s 2020 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health, this brief explores sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health indicators among asexual youth.”
