💜 Stacked with Intention: The Demisexual Pride Flag

Not every connection strikes like lightning—some grow slowly, rooted in meaning, and bloom with depth.  

In the early 2010s, members of the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) expanded the language of identity to include those who experience attraction only after forging emotional bonds. To represent this nuance within the broader asexual spectrum, the Demisexual Pride Flag emerged: quiet, powerful, and precise.  

🎨 What the Colors Stand For

The flag is built with four simple colors, each layered with purpose:  

- Black: representing asexuality  

- Gray: for graysexual and demisexual identities  

- White: symbolizing allies and inclusion  

- Purple: for the strength of community connection  

Like its origins, the flag doesn’t seek loud declarations—it honors complexity, intention, and the unspoken strength in waiting, feeling, and knowing.  

🧵 The Flag as Archive

At Show Pride, we honor stories that live beneath the surface. The Demisexual Flag is not just representation—it’s reclamation. It says: "Your attraction doesn’t need to fit anyone else’s rhythm to be real." It says: "Depth is strength."  

These bricks are stacked with intention—just like you.  

You are valuable. You are seen.
