Demisexual Pride Flag

History

The Demisexual Pride Flag emerged from AVEN community discussions around 2010, designed to represent people who experience sexual attraction only after forming a strong emotional bond. The demisexual identity sits on the grey asexual spectrum — people who are not fully asexual but do not experience primary sexual attraction. The flag's visual relationship to the asexual flag was intentional, placing demisexual identity clearly within the asexual family. As conversations about the spectrum of sexuality grew through online communities in the 2010s, the flag became widely circulated.

Colors

black, white, purple, grey

The colour palette mirrors the asexual flag to signal membership of the asexual spectrum; the black triangle on the hoist represents asexuality, while white and grey represent sexuality in its partial and contextual forms, and purple represents community.

Symbols

black triangle on hoist, horizontal stripes

The triangle motif echoes the asexual flag's triangular design and signals the demisexual-asexual relationship.
