#098 Pride

We marched in the pride parade. United in our fight, our flags are a cape akin to shining armour.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was an older gentleman. “Sorry, can I ask you a question? What does that flag stand for?”

“It’s the asexual flag,” I answered, “it’s for people who don’t feel sexual attraction to others.”

“Attraction? So it’s not about sex?” He looked confused.

“Some aces don’t and some do. It’s a broad spectrum.”

The man nudges a friend- or boyfriend. “Hey, this sounds like you!”

This is what it’s all about; community and pride.
