''Tales of a Homoromantic Ace'' is an original Web series by a young woman who identifies as [[{{Asexuality}} asexual]]. Each installment is an unscripted (in most cases) list of asexuality-related terminology, story about her experiences an asexual, anecdote about sexual orientation in general, or something of the like. As asexuality is relatively unknown sexual orientation, the purpose behind the series' existence is to educate the Internet masses on asexuality in a way the creator hopes is personal and interesting.

The series can be found on Blip.tv [[http://blip.tv/HomoromanticAce here]], though it was initially launched on Website/YouTube.

* AbusiveParents: Mentioned in "Asexuality and Mental Illness" and "Long-Term Implications of Queer Romance". Apparently that has been lost on some Tropers who chose to include the series' old name--which the vlogger's parents KNOW--on this page! (Yeah, please don't do that.)

*** Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! ''FUCK!''
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Yep.
* {{Determinator}}: Her attitude toward asexual visibility in the face of ignorance and even hostility, particularly because her AbusiveParents tried to get her to shut down her series. Not to mention she survived an abusive household as a child well enough to get into an excellent college and become comfortable with her rare sexual orientation. ''Damn.''
