Part 6 of my #Pride #vexillology series: Asexual

Designed in 2010, this flag was selected by contest to represent people who are not sexually attracted to anyone, namely, Asexual people.

To quote the site LGBTQnation, “Asexual people are often misconstrued as celibate. However, celibate people voluntarily abstain from sex and usually do so for religious reasons. Asexual people, on the other hand, have an intrinsic lack of sexual attraction or desire for other people. This makes asexuality a sexual orientation much in the same way that being gay, lesbian, or bisexual is a sexual orientation.”
