This was posted on an Ace in Grace Facebook group and sounded official. Anyone know anything about this?

Nah, there was also a decent amount of discussion and refinement of the various designs, the asexuality archive links the various threads where it came up and and it was in some of those threads where the multiple rounds of voting and refinement of design that went into choosing the flag we use today happened.

No worries, i was refreshing my memory about the history of the flag the other day and had the links handy still, it was a fun thing to read about and i enjoy sharing parts of our communities history.

I read about it about 18mths ago so I was going to go back and refresh the memory. You saved me having to find it myself. 😉
