#asexuality flag

Cute pattern of cats, this time in ace flag colors.

Two versions because I’m trying to decide if I want the paws to be rainbow colored or of the color of the orientation for each pattern? Or if always make two, who knows! Check source if interested!

I made an ace flag background design in different aspect ratios so you can use it on most devices.

Have an am-ace-ing day, everyone!

The Asexuality Flag

I’m ace, but I’ve never felt that the standard asexuality flag—stripes of white, gray, black, and purple—represents me well at all, because it’s just so sadly drab. I am neither sad nor drab. But the color on my “pride” flag that represents me is ... pale gray? Woo hoo. I feel so ... celebrated. I feel so ... proud.

I feel invalidated by the current flag, because I feel that the asexuality flag defines aces from the outside, by the “lack” that other people see in us. The single stripe of color—the purple—in our flag isn’t even used to represent us: it represents our “sense of community.”

If we were going to identify the ace community by the color purple, then maybe our flag could be a gradient of various shades of purple. I wouldn’t mind celebrating my sexuality with a pale shade of lavender.

But I’m not going to let my sexuality be “celebrated” by someone else’s mourning for my “lack” of something “normal.” I wish we aces had been able to come up with a representation of ourselves and our diversity by something that came from within instead of something that came from without. I feel a little bit of sadness every time I see that asexuality flag, as if it represents pity instead of pride.

So, for now, I’ll choose to identify myself with the rainbow flag instead, because I refuse to identify myself as a pathetic lack of joy. And maybe someday some other aces will come up with a flag that feels like a celebration rather than a dirge.

do you know anything about the 'new' ace pride flag? I've been seeing one with yellow a lot recently and it's confusing me.

That I know of, the Asexuality Pride Flag is always the same (black, grey, white, purple). The Aromantic Flag has yellow in it, many people draw the two flags together, maybe that’s what you saw?

Also I have seen many posts combining the Ace flag with other orientations flag for people who wants to add their romantic orientation. I’ve seen a lot of “asexual panromantic” flags lately, and the pan flag is pink, yellow and blue.

Is anyone able to help me out? I’d like to have the Ace flag behind me in my avatar pic but I am unfortunately incapable with computers/photoshop... 

I cannot offer money for your help (grad students are despairingly poor), but I can offer my undying gratitude and a follow! Please let me if anyone knows someone who could help! Thank you!!!!
