Different Pride Flags and What TheyRepresent in the Asexual flag
The need for a flag was driven by the desire to have a symbol that belongs to all of us, something that we could use to identify as ace and represent asexuality with that was not tied to a specific group.Prior to its adoption, people would use things like the AVEN triangle or a half-filled heart, but those had problems which prevented their wider adoption.The AVEN triangle is what it is.Not every asexual person is affiliated with the logo of a single website.Many aromantics were uncomfortable using the half-filled heart because it implies romance.
In the summer of 2010 a number of asexuality sites came up with designs for a flag, then held a multi-stage vote to determine the winner.
The first post of the selected design was at 4:36 PM on June 30th, 2010.
The other designs included hearts and spades, as well as all manner of other symbols.Some of the designs were similar to country flags.The four-bar design was chosen.This design avoids the unwanted connotations of a triangle or heart, it avoids any hint of national affiliation, and it fits in with the striped designs of most other pride flags.
The use of the flag has exploded since it was selected.There are buttons, bumper stickers, and clothes with the flag on them.It has been seen at pride parades around the world, and some flag makers now offer it for sale.Many asexuality related websites incorporate the flag into their design.People have made flag cakes.The black-grey-white-purple color scheme has been adopted by many people as a way of showing their asexuality.I have seen ace shirts, nail polish, friendship bracelets, and headbands.There are four colors in the logo of this site.
I would like to thank you for this, I have always felt alone and like I was a freak because I am asexual, now I feel part of something.I have learned that I am not alone and have been helped by a few things.Thank you so much!!
The flag colors are slightly before the flag.When all the flag proposals were being made, they stuck to the same color scheme.AVEN is down at the moment, but I can find the relevant thread.
I like the flag.I discovered that I am asexual after my brother asked me if I was.It explains a lot.I have always been different.I recently realized that there is something called aromantic.I am also aromantic and not romantic at all.I don't know what I'm without.Without sex and romance.I didn't know there was asexual flag.I don't know where to get one.
I like the look of the flag, but I didn't vote for it.I know the colors have meaning, but does white mean virginity?I know not everyone here is a virgin.I think that purple is a spiritual color.
I thought I was a normal Hetro, but I didn't feel sexual attraction to them, I only liked them because I mistook friendship as a love thing.I suffer from erotophobia and like not relying on people.
I don't think a desire to have a romantic relationship with a person is a crush.I never had a crush, but I have had some.
I said I had a vendetta against people.Only one day crush is what it means.I will not be attracted to them the next day.
I too.I have been in relationships before.I have never felt attracted to my exes, maybe because I mistook a friendship as love thingy.I feel guilty in every relationship I've had.I am still a virgin.
I have never had any sexual attraction to anyone I had been with, even though I am interested in having close relationships.I finally feel sane after reading a lot.
I just realized that I am asexual, and I was so relieved to see this flag.Members of the LGBTQA* community have helped me accept and love myself, even without feeling sexual needs for others.Thanks for raising awareness in the community and for your hard work on the flag!
A kid in middle school confessed to me that I was ace and aro.I felt like I was supposed to like him, but I didn't.I began to notice that the feelings remained the same through my life.When I searched for something that might be wrong with me, I found out that there were other people like me.I finally felt comfortable with myself after being m i n d b l o w n.I like the colors of the flag in real life.That's right.
Why is it black?Not a colour that I like to represent, neither black nor white, wish it was something else.
It is to show that there is no sexuality.Asexuality is the lack of sexual attraction.
I just found out that Asexuality is a thing and I think I have finally found who I am.
I feel the same way.All of my friends love science.When I was in high school people were confused because it was so hot.!
I like the idea of spades, but this flag is more in solidarity with the others, because I discovered it was in the running to be on the flag.
I thought I was straight and gay most of my life.I didn't like the pictures I was getting from guys.If I felt anything with a girl, I did but not much.I don't know which one I like, but I'm not closed off to both genders.I don't like doing things with guys past kissing, it makes me feel uncomfortable if I have an emotional connection with them.If I have an emotional connection, I can do things that are repulsive to me.I was hoping that you could help me identify as well as I do.
It sounds like you are an ace.Asexuality is when you don't feel sexual attraction unless you have a strong emotional bond.You could be biromantic ace/demi if you have interest in romance.Don't feel like you have to do anything you're not comfortable with; your boundaries should be respected.
Due to being home bound, I am sewing my own flag.It is so awesome!
It is a relief to know that you belong.I was making myself do things I didn't want to do because I felt like it would make me normal, and there was something wrong with me.I was not happy with myself.After all this time, I came to peace with myself.
