The segment is offensive and mean. In the middle of three minutes of jokes, host Greg Gutfeld calls asexuals lepers. Near the end, guest Bill Schulz asserts that asexuals aren’t discriminated against. However, it is easy to see how the media is dismissing asexuals even within the segment. The discussion about asexuality on Red Eye encourages viewers to meet asexuality with skepticism and disbelief rather than acceptance. Misinformation and tasteless jokes could have severe negative consequences on asexual people – especially youth — who are struggling to find acceptance.

I’m amazed anyone on Fox News even knows what asexuality is.
