Not only did it illustrate the difficulties and discrimination faced by those who identify as asexual within queer spaces, but similarly the stigma attached to being bi – in the case of Let’s Talk About Love, Alice is a biromantic ace, which saw her experience the vitriol of both identities, from inside and outside of the queer community.Īdditionally, as a female, black teenager, Alice also suffered from the racist and misogynistic attitudes of those around her. That certainly wasn’t the case with Let’s Talk About Love.
And, when that representation did happen to make its way to the page or the screen, well… it often fell short. As a debut novel, Claire Kann’s writing was an unknown entity and asexual representation has been sorely lacking across most media.
