Summary: The Asexual pride flag consists of black for asexuality, grey for the grey area between sexual and asexual, white for sexuality, and purple for community.
People who identify as asexual experience little or no sexual attraction to others. Asexual people, or "aces," often identify somewhere on a spectrum that includes their emotional, spiritual, and romantic attraction to other people. Asexuality is distinct from abstention from sexual activity and celibacy, which are behavioral and generally motivated by factors such as an individual's personal, social, or religious beliefs.
In August 2010, after a debate over having an asexual flag and how to set up a system to create one, and contacting as many asexual communities as possible, a flag was announced as the asexual pride flag.
The flag consists of four horizontal stripes: black, grey, white, and purple from top to bottom.
The flag colors have been used in artwork and referenced in articles about asexuality.
