2026

In 2026, AceInGrace (Ashabi) unveiled a more inclusive and diverse rendition of the asexual flag, after having worked on the project for years. It was met with a surprising amount of backlash, and brought up the fact that the asexual community has a major problem with anti-blackness and racism. This is why we need a flag that includes intersectionality more than ever. We condemn all forms of hate on this page and in the asexual community as a whole.

 

In their words: Black: Represents Support, Understanding, Awareness and Appreciation. • Grey: Acknowledges Asexuality as a Spectrum of identities. (Including Grey, Demi and MircoLabels] • White: Represents the Spectrum of Intimacy Experienced [Sexual, Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, etc] • Dandelion Yellow: Represents Multiculturalism, Intersectionality, and Joy within the Asexual Community. Promoting all activities & experiences that allow us to enhance our joy, while consciously strengthening our bonds with one another. • Pink: Represents & Acknowledges that the love we experience is true, expansive and diverse [Centers all forms of love; Self Love, Romantic, Platonic, QPR & Aromantic]• Purple/Dark Fuchsia: Represents Visibility of the Asexual Community; encouraging purposeful efforts to protect and uplift oneself, and each other, within our the society.

2020

An alternative flag was posted to Tumblr in 2020 by user Potion of The Flag as a colorful new spin on the original flag. The dark blue represents community, history & solidarity. The purple represents the asexuality spectrum. The dark pink represents self-determination, pride, and acceptance. Lastly, the light pink represents diversity in experience & attraction. Both flags represent the asexual spectrum, but the original has been officially adopted and is more widely recognized.

The original flag was created by the asexual community in 2010 through the AVEN website. The color black represents asexuals, gray represents gray-aces and demisexuals (and everything in between). The white represents allosexuals - partners & allies, and purple represents community.
