Demi-Sexuality

This flag is the flag for asexual pride. Anyone-straight, gay, or other-
can be demi-sexual. Because for demi-sexuals the emotional bond
has to be confirmed first. The sexual component to the relationship comes
 ...much later.

In this flag being asexual (being emotionally, rather than sexually, attracted
to another) is represented by the black stripe.
Those who are half interested in the idea of sex
are represented by the grey stripe. Those who are fully commited
to sexual exprression within a relationship, and their allies,
are sybolised by the white stripe.
Whilst the purple stripe represents the wider asexual community.
 
 In a world more mature and patient than the world I grew up in
I would have subcribed to grey stripe. I now have the grey hair,
what there is left of it, and the beard to prove it.
I would love to have discovered this flag, and the comunnity choices
and values behind it, decades earlier than I did...
