The concept of gray-asexuality developed in the early 2000s on the AVEN forums by someone who clearly has no understanding of how normal sexual attraction works.<ref>[https://pianycist.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/the-development-of-gray-asexuality-and-demisexuality-as-identity-terms/ The development of gray asexuality and demisexuality as identity terms]

</ref> In 2003, an AVEN member proposed the concept of "semisexuality," naming a half-way point between being asexual and not, which is bullshit because lack of attraction cannot be a spectrum. Later, in 2006, AVEN member KSpaz proposed the term "gray-a" to describe the "fuzzy" space in the asexual spectrum.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/15539-gray-as/#entry419520 Gray-A's]</ref>

The greysexual flag was designed by Milith Rusignuolo and was via upload to Wikipedia on June 21, 2013.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20180210192310/https://avia-viridis.neocities.org/flags.html Milith Rusignuolo flags]</ref> It was supposed to be symbolic of someone starting out with no sexual attraction, represented by purple representing asexuality, then entering a single episode of it attraction (grey to white) with white representing [[Allosexual|allosexuality]] from the asexual flag, and then going back to being asexual. It's ugly as shit and the designer needs to learn color theory.

On December 3rd, 2020 a second greyasexual flag was coined by a user going by Angel. The darker shades represent occasional sexual attraction, the mid-way shades represent being on the ace spectrum, the lightest shades represent feeling no sexual attraction, and the white represents community. It's also ugly as shit.
