LGBTQIA+ Wiki is a FANDOM Lifestyle Community.
Gray-asexual , [1] also known as graysexual or gray-A , [1] [2] [3] [4] is an asexual identity characterized as being "in between" asexual and allosexual ; that is, being asexual while also able to experience, or have experienced previously, sexual attraction. [1] People who identify as gray-asexual may experience sexual attraction that is uncommon for the individual, may only be directed toward specific people, [5] occurs infrequently, at low intensity, or in an ambiguous way. [6] [7] The term is often included in the asexual spectrum . [8]

Preceded by earlier discussion of "semisexuality," [9] the term "gray-a" was first used in a 2006 Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) thread of the same name by AVEN user KSpaz, who dedicated a thread to the "fuzziness" in between asexual and allosexual . [10] The term "gray area" is often used to refer to an ill-defined situation wherein the rules are not clear or unknown. [11]

The term gray-asexual has become one of the most common ace identity terms after asexuality itself. In the 2019 Ace Community Census, gray-asexuals made up about 10% of ace respondents. [12]

Gray-asexuals are represented by the gray stripe in the asexual community flag, which was created collaboratively within the community in 2010. [13] [14] A flag specifically for gray-asexuality was created by Milith Rusignuolo and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons on June 21, 2013. For this flag, purple represents asexuality, white represents allosexuality, and gray represents the transition between asexuality and allosexuality, which in turn is meant to represent the infrequent or low feelings of sexuality that grayasexual people may feel. [15] [16]

Although gray-asexuality is on the asexual spectrum , it is different from asexuality itself. Asexual people do not experience sexual attraction, whereas gray-asexual people may feel sexual attraction in particular situations. [17]

According to the 2019 Ace Community Survey Report, 10.9% of all 10,648 self-selected participants identified as gray-asexual. This was the most popular response behind asexual (67.9%). Gray-asexual people were just as likely to be questioning as asexual-identified people, and less likely to be questioning than demisexual -identified people. [18]

Some gray-asexual people experience internalized acephobia, as their experience of asexuality may be different from other people, particularly around the concept of wanting and enjoying sex. [19]

LGBTQ+ representation is finally on the rise in popular TV. Here's a look at some of the best from Grey's Anatomy over the many seasons.
Shonda Rhimes clearly makes an effort to include representation in all of the shows she produces, giving a voice for people of color and the LGBTQ+ community. She writes the world as it is, and this representation is more important now than ever.
In Grey's Anatomy , there are many powerful episodes showing a realistic look at how people of the LGBTQ+ community are treated, opening up many viewers' eyes to the subject. There are also heartwarming moments throughout the show that provide the message that everyone should be treated as a human being, no matter their sexual identity.
Meredith assists Mark Sloan in a gender-affirming surgery, but things come to a halt when Sloan discovers in pre-labs that his patient has breast cancer. Donna (Alexandra Billings) is heartbroken upon realizing her dream to fully relieve her gender dysphoria may end up killing her.
This is the first time a transgender patient was introduced to Grey's Anatomy , and the way she was treated by Mark Sloan was exquisite, correcting Meredith when she originally struggled with misgendering. The importance of how people in the transgender community should be treated by doctors is a prominent theme throughout, and the fact that Alexandra Billings is transgender herself adds an authenticity to the role that is powerful.
Meredith and Derek are in the midst of their clinical trial and their next patient is a soldier named Darren. The emotions are rampant in this heartbreaking Grey's episode , as Darren's boyfriend, Todd, comes to the hospital to see him before surgery and they share an intimate kiss before yanking apart when Darren's father walks in.
Meredith talks to the patient about the age-old "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule in the military and she expresses her feelings that it's unfair to have to follow such traditions and hide who you love. It's rare to see a gay relationship between men shown on a television show of Grey's caliber, and the normalcy and emotions showing the two's love for one another are refreshing.
Erica Hahn says one of the most memorable quotes in Grey's Anatomy when she shares with Callie the realization that she's a lesbian is like seeing with glasses for the first time. The renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and Torres developed a brief relationship with each other before Erica abruptly leaves the show, leaving a lot of fans disappointed in the short-lived romance.
Her realization isn't aligned with what Callie experiences and it leads to opening the door for her character to explore her sexuality. This leads to another episode, later on, where Callie declares that she is bisexual, a huge landmark for television and bi-erasure, as many shows tend to show sexuality on a black and white scale rather than a spectrum.
Callie Torres' father comes to Seattle Grace with the pastor of their church and a plan to convince his daughter she isn't gay in this emotional episode that shows a real look at how people of the LGBTQ+ community can be treated by their own loved ones. He begins quoting bible entries to her, and she becomes rightfully upset at how he's struggling to accept her sexual identity.
After she shouts at her father that he can't "pray away the gay," Callie tells Arizona she doesn't need a family who's not going to accept her for who she is. Arizona provides some clarity to Callie's father about how she expected the same behavior from her own dad when he learned she was a lesbian, and instead, he asked if she was still who he raised her to be, knowing that who she loves didn't change
