3' x 5' polyester Asexual Pride Flag with two grommets, double-stitched top and bottom edges, and a triple-stitched fly edge to reduce fraying. ✍️ The Design: Created in August 2010 by an Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) user named Standup, this design emerged from a grassroots community contest aimed at establishing a unifying symbol for the asexual community. The layout features four simple, equal horizontal stripes of black, grey, white, and purple. It turned out to be so instantly recognizable that the color scheme leaked into general pop culture almost overnight. Every stripe carries direct identity significance within the community spectrum. 🖤 The black stripe represents asexuality, 🩶 The grey stripe stands for grey-asexuality and demisexuality (which also has it's own flag) 🤍 The white stripe represents all allies and non-asexual partners, 💜 The purple stripe signifies the overall asexual community as a whole. 🖤 Days of Celebration: Individuals navigating an asexual journey and their supporters fly this flag during Ace Week / Asexual Awareness Week (held annually in late October), International Asexuality Day (April 6th), and throughout Pride Month in June.
