User:Osteophage/Gray-asexual draft

Gray-asexual is a term for the gray area of the asexual spectrum. This is an umbrella term for identifying partially but incompletely with asexuality.

Etymology
Preceded by earlier discussion of "semisexuality," the term "gray-a" was first used in a 2006 AVEN thread of the same name by AVEN user KSpaz. KSpaz dedicated this thread to the "fuzziness" in between asexual and allosexual.

Community
Gray-asexuals are commonly found in the asexual community. Notable gray-asexuals include Tristan Miller, who organizes the annual Ace Community Survey.

History
Document the community's most important history, including facts such as key events, breakthroughs in improving the community's wellbeing and rights, or historical figures known to belong to the community.

Flag
Gray-asexuals are represented by the gray stripe of the asexual community flag, which was created collaboratively within the community in 2010. Together, the black, gray, and white stripes of the flag symbolize a gradient from asexual to allosexual, with gray-asexuality in between.

Asexual
Asexuality and gray-asexuality are very similar. Of the two, gray-asexuality is less absolute.

Demisexual
Demisexuality is associated with sexual attraction to those with whom an individual has formed a strong emotional bond. Since demisexual identity emerged from the asexual community and may involve partial identification with asexuality, it may be considered a subtype of gray-asexuality.
