[[File:Aceflag.png|thumb|220x220px|The asexual spectrum community flag]]▼
The concept of gray-asexuality developed in the early 2000s on the AVEN forums.<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. 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>
