The asexual flag was created in August of 2010 to represent the entire asexual spectrum, and it was selected after a thorough three-stage poll by the community, originating on AVEN, the largest asexual community at the time, but extending towards other asexual communities to ensure as many individuals as possible could be included in this decision. <ref>https://asexualagenda.wordpress.com/2018/02/21/the-ace-flag-a-history-and-celebration/</ref> |

The black stripe represents asexuals and lack of attraction, the grey stripe represents demisexuals, gray-asexuals and everyone else that's on the ace-spec, the white stripe represents allosexual allies and the purple stripe represents the asexual community as a whole, and it was likely chosen because AVEN had purple as part of its colour scheme.
