Greysexual

Grey-asexual (or gray-asexual) is a sexual orientation on the asexual spectrum, referring to a gray area around or adjacent to asexuality.

Some grey-asexual experiences may include:
 * Experiencing sexual attraction only infrequently

Grey-asexual can also be used as an umbrella term for those on the asexual spectrum who don't self-describe specifically as just asexual, including demisexuals and others.
 * Experience sexual attraction very weakly
 * Feeling uncertain about whether they experience sexual attraction
 * Feeling alienated from sexuality
 * Finding asexuality a useful idea, even if it isn't a perfect fit

Greyasexual can be an orientation on its own or be combined with other sexual orientations. For example, one could be greysexual and gay (grey-homosexual).

The romantic counterpart to grey-asexual is greyromantic.

History
The concept of gray-asexuality developed in the early 2000s on the AVEN forums. In 2003, an AVEN member proposed the concept of "semisexuality," naming a half-way point between being asexual and not. Later, in 2006, AVEN member KSpaz proposed the term "gray-a" to describe the "fuzzy" space in the asexual spectrum.

Symbolism
In 2009 and 2010, there was an organized community-wide effort to find consensus on an asexual community flag, resulting in the black, gray, white, and purple design shown here. The asexual flag includes a black stripe for asexuality and grey stripe for grey-asexuals.In 2013, another flag design was proposed specifically for grey-asexuality via upload to Wikipedia. This flag design has not necessarily been as embraced as widely as the ace community flag.
