Theories
In society, there is a lack of understanding of who asexuals are and in many occasions, they tend to limit their interactions to an online platform. Asexuals have also found it safer to communicate through the use of symbols and slang. Asexuals are often referred to as aces which makes their use of the Ace of Spades as a symbol quite fitting. People are often under the misconception that asexuals hate sex or never have sex. For them, sex is not a focal point. This is where the term gray-asexual comes in. A gray-asexual being, may engage in sex with someone they have a strong connection to, but their relationship is not based on sex, nor do they crave sex. This can also be known as gray areas, which can be combined with different orientations, such as:


 * A graysexual Heteroromantic person: Are rarely sexually attracted to others.
 * A asexual grayromantic person: Not sexually attracted to anyone, but they do experience being romantically attracted to others on rare occasions.
 * A gray-pansexual aromatic person: They are rarely attracted to people sexually of all genders, but never are romantically attracted to anyone.
 * A gynesexual gray-biromantic person: Is usually sexually attracted to women or feminine presenting people. And they rarely experience romantic attraction towards more than one gender.

Asexual Pride Flag
The asexual flag is about more than just being an asexual being. This flag is about inclusivity:

 * The white stripe represents allies of asexuality; those in tune with their sexuality.
 * The gray stripe is for asexuals who fall anywhere within the asexual spectrum.
 * The purple represents an asexuals sense of community and belonging.
