A growing community

Graysexuality is far from rare. According to the 2019 Ace Community Census, roughly 10% of ace-spectrum respondents identified as gray-asexual, making it the second most common identity after asexuality itself.

The community has also embraced its own symbols. The asexual flag, designed in 2010, includes a gray stripe to represent graysexual people. There’s also a dedicated gray-ace flag: purple stands for asexuality, white for allosexuality, and gray for the fluid space in between.
