Because I just saw a ‘positivity’ post that was not at all positive:

- ARO FOLKS WHO ARE ACE ARE VALID

- ARO FOLKS THAT ARENT ACE ARE VALID

- ARO FOLKS WHO STILL WANT SEX ARE VALID

- ARO FOLKS WHO DONT WANT SEX ARE VALID

- ARO FOLKS WHO WANT QPRS ARE VALID

- ARO FOLKS WHO DONT ARE VALID

You are not ‘weird’ for wanting things out of a relationship that aren’t romance. Aro people are amazing and valid and I platonically love you all.

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.

Can I identify with this as an allosexual aro? Because my aromanticism is way more important to me than who I happen to find sexy.

In any case, signal boosting this cause its a v good term <3

[autcore]

Absolutely yes. Alloaros, aroaces, non-SAM aros, and any other aro who is also queer can identify as aroqueer. Aroqueer is about prioritising (and forcing people to acknowledge) your aromanticism without leaving your queerness behind.

I made it as a way to simplify the description of my identity without denying the complexity that might be there. Aroqueer implies and acknowledges complexity whilst actively denying onlookers an in-depth explanation because that shit can be personal and you don’t owe it to anyone.

I probably didn’t make that very clear in the original post and should add it in, thank you for alerting me.

Asexual men exist and are fantastic

[aromoji]

Some people prioritize one aspect of their identities over others because they feel it's more important to them, and that's ok! Aspecs have a right to take pride in their identities, regardless of if you think they are inherently lgbt! If you condemn "lgbt" aspecs for prioritizing their acespec or arospec identity then you don't support "lgbt" aspecs as much as you claim you do.

Nb4 "They can prioritize non-aspec identities!!" That's true, but not the point of the post.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

Reblog if your blog is a safe place for asexuals.
