Caligosexual

Caligosexual Pride Flag

Caligosexual is a term within the asexual umbrella. It means "a sexual attraction defined as feeling sexual attraction that is very weak or vague, almost nonexistent, like a vapor, fog, or mist." Some people describe it as "I'm basically in the between of greysexual and asexual because my attraction is so rare and/or weak I don't even consider myself apart of the greysexual community." The term was coined in July 2016 by a user named "terribledacty".

The original pride flag was the flag shown above, but with a triangle in the center, and the triangle was made up of the original asexual flag design's colors (so the asexual flag, but in the shape of a triangle, in the middle of the caligosexual flag). Some people complained that, that kind of design would be difficult to make PRIDE related merchandise (pillows, digital art, real life flags, etc.) so the above flag (the various shades of purple without the triangle on it, as shown above) was proposed as an alternative. 

Since this was coined in July 2016, this term is relatively new in the grand scheme of things, but some people are starting to identify as it because many people find it reltable. The flag shown above (the various shades of purple) was created by the blog dgs-haven.

My apologies

I'd like to give a formal apology to my readers - since I work in healthcare, my work schedule has been crazy busy as of late. I will do...
