This is a userspace draft for writing up a possible Ace Day page. Since it is a userspace page and not an official wiki entry, deletion issues don't apply, Edit away! If a suitable article can be created, we can then submit this to become a full page.

Nothing here is proper markup form, so formatting everything is a good start.

Text of the original entry (which IMO needs to be heavily revised) was:

On May 8, 2015 The Asexuality Blog and the Ace Community began a movement where they posted photos and graphics of Ace cards to correspond with their orientations. The event was wildly successful across social media and even extended to a few physical displays globally. Since, it has been decided that the movement will be recurring annually every May 8.

The delegations from the original post were as follows:

Ace of Hearts: Alloromantic Asexual - experiences romantic attraction regularly toward one or more genders. This includes orientations such as heteroromantic, homoromantic, biromantic, polyromantic, and panromantic.

Ace of Spades: Aromantic Asexual - does not experience romantic attraction toward any gender.

Ace of Diamonds: Demiromantic/Demisexual & Grey-aromantic/Grey-Asexual- Experiences romantic and/or sexual attraction only if a strong emotional bond is established. OR Experiences romantic/sexual attraction rarely, not strongly enough to act on, only under specific circumstances, or fluctuates between periods of experiencing attraction and not experiencing it. Orientations such as Demiromantic, Demisexual, Grey-Aromantic, Grey-Asexual, Cupioromantic, Cupiosexual, Lithromantic, Lithsexual, Aroflux, Aceflux, Quoiromantic.

Ace of Clubs: Questioning/Unsure of Orientation/No Orientation - Aware they fall on the aromantic and/or asexual spectrum, but not sure where or do not identify with any romantic orientation.

Multiple cards may be used to represent identities.
