Aroqueer

An identity for anyone on the aro spectrum whose aromanticism is the most prominent or most well understood part their orientation. The ‘rest’ of an aroqueer person’s orientation can’t or won’t be defined more specifically than “queer”. Aroqueer is not simply aro + queer, as the aromantic aspect factors into the queer aspect - the aromanticism is part of the queerness, and the two are inseparable. Aroqueer is for both people who can’t define their orientation beyond “aro” and “queer” and for people who can define their orientation further but refuse to. About the flag

[ID: The left flag has two arrowhead shapes on top of each other, slightly vertically offset. The top arrowhead is a lavender purple and the bottom one is a light yellow. The background is the same green as the first stripe on the aromantic flag.] The arrowheads serve as both aromantic symbolism and queer symbolism, as they mimic the shape of the chevrons on the queer flag. Colour symbolism: Green - The same green used in the aromantic flag’s first stripe, and is used to represent aromanticism, the aro community, and the entire aro spectrum. Light yellow - Finding joy in challenging amatonormativity. Yellow is a colour associated with happiness and yellow roses are associated with friendship and are an aro community symbol. Lavender purple - Queer identity, the queer community, and queer aromanticism.

Excerpts On Being Aromantic.

[ID: five squares in the colors of the aromantic flag, which are green, light green, white, grey, and black. Each square has text.

Square 1: “But you see I don’t want to be lonely. I’m fine with being alone, really. I’ve made peace with it, I never really had conflict with the idea to begin with I suppose. Romantic love to me as a child always seemed like something I would grow into. But I never did: maybe I’m just lost. Maybe someday I’ll find my way back to the light.”

Square 2: “What do I even want? I think that’s hard for me to articulate. I love women, but I don’t love them. The idea of lesbian love is somehow comforting and estranging to me. I think love is too strong a word for my feelings because what my feelings are pale in comparison to most peoples’. I’ve never loved a girl I’ve only found her attractive. I’ve never loved a girl I’ve only valued her friendship. I’ve never loved a girl I’ve only admired her. I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never loved a girl I’ve never I’ve never I will never I will never I will never love a girl the way a real lesbian does.”

Square 3: “Why identify with a term that feels like it’s hurting you? That’s a stupid question. The term aromantic has never hurt me, it never will. I’m afraid of the way it weighs on my tongue and on my breath so I keep it locked up in my heart, but it protects me. It is a comfort and it is a reminder and it is my word but things are also complicated in the outside world.”

Square 4: “Tell me that romantic love is everything, I dare you. Look me in the eyes and say to me that love is what makes you human. I’ll kill you. I’ll kill everyone. I’ll uproot this system of romantic love until everyone is forced to look away from it and say yeah, maybe we were wrong for putting that on a pedestal. I’ll put the point of my blade to your throat and then you’ll see that romance isn’t everything because romance isn’t what’s in my eyes as I speak to you through gritted teeth. I have never loved you and I have never loved anyone. Does that make me a monster? Is it that, and not the blade I’ve kept at your throat?”

Square 5: “I’m okay. I’ll be okay. These are the words that are inside of me but really they are all just one word and that word is aromantic. I am aromantic. I feel no romantic feelings and I never will. It’s my biggest problem and it’s my greatest joy and it’s a piece of what makes me who I am.”

Let’s end ASAW with a new survey I have been working on. I’ve decided to have a survey on one aspect of aromantic identity that I haven’t seen discussed, which is preferences towards sexual relationships.

Who this survey is aimed at: any aromantic above the age of 18 can participate, but I am particularly interested in aros who experience sexual attraction or sexual desires, aros who have previous experiences with sexual relationships, and aros who are curious about sex in general. This includes sex favorable aroaces, but also aro who tried sex and decided it was not for them, or sex repulsed aroallos. You can participate if you have no sexual experience.

What this will ask you: general demographic questions, whether you have previous sexual experiences (prefer not to say is an allowed option), what relationship dynamics do you or would you prefer to have with a sexual partner (committed or not, qprs, fwb, etc.), and a few personal opinions on how aromanticism relates to sexuality.

What this will NOT ask you: any details about preferred sexual positions, acts or kinks, any details about your sexual fantasies, any information about your sexual partners, or any identifying personal information.

The survey does not accept participants under the age of 18. I ask anyone below that age (or below the age of adulthood in your country) not to participate, although you may of course share the link to the survey with others if you want.

so yall are fine talking about relationships not needing sex to be healthy but when we say relationships dont need romance to be healthy yall get real quiet...interesting...

[alloarojughead]

not to make another reblog bait post but: aros reblog with something you just cannot understand due to being aro, i’ll start, i am absolutely baffled by the concept of x reader fanfics

[alloarojughead]

Surprised this has to be said but aros talking about finding joy and happiness in life outside of romance is not a personal attack on your desire for a romantic relationship.

[alloarojughead]

Y’all can pry alterous attraction from my cold dead hands.

It’s such an important concept. As a community we cannot let it die.

[alloarojughead]

I think its important for the alloaros who find themselves expressing through sexual attraction to do so without shame. Too many people like to focus on aro/ace identity with no touch of sexuality which is why I find the specification of alloaro important. But sexuality should have no shame. And alloaros out there shouldn’t have to hide their enjoyment for sex and sexual intimacy. Enjoy yourself, and your connection with others, even if it’d sexual. Sex isn’t harmful.

Caption: [ (singing to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It) If you're queer and you know it clap your hands (claps twice). If you're queer and you know it clap your hands (claps twice). If you're queer (stops singing) but more specifically you're aromantic but you say you're queer so that you don't have to explain to people what being aromantic is.

And maybe you're asexual and you don't want to explain how that's different. Or maybe you're not asexual and you don't want to explain how that's different. And you just want to avoid people saying you'll grow out of it, or that you're chronically online, or you'll die alone, or how its not even a sexuality. Clap your hands.]
