Hi all, 

Thanks to everyone who's e-mailed me directly or e-mailed to the mailing list. I'll write a quick blog post about this once I've finished the paper and send it to the mailing list. It would be interesting to try and keep an updated list of examples.

Also now I've thought about it, I'm also really intrigued by the empirical question of what brings about this institutional recognition - if it's not a product of direct lobbying then is it simply the category of 'asexual' circulating in the media and being encountered by civil servants who then feel disposed to include it in government documents etc? 

Cheers,
Mark

Subject: Re: Asexuality being institutionally recognised
 
I only know of US examples, but here's a couple:
 
-there's the New York Sexual Orientation nondiscrimination act (2002) which includes asexuality under the list of protected sexual orientations: http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=&bn=S00720&term=2001&Summary=Y&Actions=Y&Votes=Y&Memo=Y&Text=Y
 
-there's a similar reference in a recently passed San Antonio ordinance (2013): http://blog.mysanantonio.com/politics/files/2013/09/13-0910-NDO-FINAL.pdf
 
I believe there was also some supplemental publicity material from the vermont state government which mentions asexuality (though it's not included in the actual state law), but I'm afraid I can't find it at the moment.
 
Best,

Hi all, 
 
I'm writing a paper for a Psychology Handbook and I'm trying to collect examples of asexuality being institutionally recognised. I'm thinking of things like asexuality being listed as a sexual orientation in this document. Does anyone have any other examples? I'd be particularly keen to hear any international examples.
 
Cheers,
