redbeardace: Asexual Awareness Week has been formally recognized by the Governor of the State of Washington! This is BIG. As far as I have seen, this is the first time Ace Week has ever been recognized anywhere. This is like an 8.7 on the Awesome Scale big. I want to thank everyone in the Seattle Aces & Aros for helping to bring this together. And I want to thank Gov. Inslee for making this happen! From the Palouse to the Pacific, from the Columbia to Canada, the Evergreen State rocks!
