i guess it's similar for gay people only it can be much, much worse. I don't think someone would beat up someone for them being asexual...unless people THINK they're gay. i have 4 openly asexual friends, 3 girls and 1 boy, and they don't seem to have too much trouble besides the whole people wanting them to date thing.
so yea i do think people should stop descriminating against asexuals, because even tho they aren't descriminated that much where i live doesnt mean they aren't somewhere else

Culturally, I can't see how it's much of a problem.
It's not obvious from a person's presentation (mannerisms, aesthetics, etc)
nor is it obvious in their relationships (and who they choose for those relationships).
The only place where I could see it being discriminated against is by a few outdated, mostly Freudian psychiatrists.
