The asexual flag consists of four horizontal stripes: black, gray, white, and purple. The black stripe represents asexuality, the gray stripe symbolizes the gray area between sexual and asexual, the white stripe stands for non-asexual partners, and the purple stripe signifies community and the blending of sexualities. Created in 2010 by the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN), the flag aims to promote awareness and acceptance of asexuality. It serves as a symbol for those who identify as asexual, helping to foster a sense of community and belonging among individuals who may feel marginalized.
