Join us for a queer flick, some fun and a chance to win a prize! Queer Cinema at QC is a monthly film series. We are hybrid!!!

This groundbreaking film introduces viewers to folx who have never experienced sexual attraction. In 2000, David Jay came out as asexual to his parents, a quality he accepts about himself. And David is not alone; studies show that as much as one percent of the population may be asexual.

Living in a society obsessed with sex, how does one deal with life as an outsider? In (A)Sexual, people describe firsthand the challenges of acknowledging to themselves—and others—their asexuality.
