The asexual flag


In August 2010, after seeking input from asexuals outside AVEN and in non-English speaking areas, a flag was voted on in a non-AVEN site and then elected to help increase asexual visibility.[1] The flag consists of four equal horizontal stripes, similar to the flag of other orientations.

In 2011, the flag was used in numerous pride parades, and because one of the main symbols of asexuality.
