Just like the Pansexual pride flag, the Asexual flag was created in 2010 and it expresses a few identities, including demisexuality. Demisexual is a person that experiences sexual attraction only after they’ve established an emotional connection.
There was a need for a symbol for asexual people that wouldn’t be connected with any other groups. That’s where the idea to create the flag came from – in the summer of 2010, the design was chosen by users through voting on the internet.
The asexual flag consists of 4 colors and each one has its own meaning:
Black – Asexuality
Gray – Asexuality and Demisexuality
White – non-asexual partners and supporters
Purple – the society, unity
After 2010, the use of the asexual flag began around the world. It can often be seen on a variety of accessories, clothing and parades.
