Main Document

Asexuality

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.

Asexual Pride Flag

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.

What the Asexual Flag Colors Mean

The flag consists of four horizontal stripes: black, grey, white, and purple from top to bottom.

• The black stripe represents asexuality.
• The grey stripe represents the grey area between sexual and asexual.
• The white stripe sexuality.
• The purple stripe community.

The flag colors have been used in artwork and referenced in articles about asexuality.
