“I knew what I wasn’t: I wasn’t interested in boys, and

I really wasn’t interested in girls,” Gunn wrote in his
2011 book, Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons
for Making It Work. “For many years, I described
myself as asexual, and I still think that’s closest to the
truth.”

Model Yasmin Benoit has spoken openly about her

asexuality, and wrote in an essay for Glamour
Magazine UK, “I live a perfectly happy and fulfilled life
as a Black asexual, aromantic woman. I don't need a
partner to complete me – I'm complete just the way I
am. That's why I use my platform to fight against
asexuality stigma, dispel myths and help empower the
ace community."

known to be very reclusive and had no known
romantic partnerships throughout her life. In

asexual, although the romantic content of her
writings indicate she would not have been
aromantic.

may have been asexual.
