researchers Cara C. MacInnis and Gordon Hodson, measured bias against asexuals compared with other marginalized sexual orientations and found that asexuals were “evaluated most negatively of all groups” in a survey of heterosexual attitudes in university and community samples.14 Of the four sexualities the respondents were asked about—the other three being heterosexual, homosexual, and bisexual+ individuals—asexuals were perceived to be the least “human” and to have the least emotional capacity.
