reblog if you think romance neutral aros and romance ambivalent aros and romance indifferent aros and romance unsure aros are important and valued members of the aro community
Being ace and/or aro is normal, just like any other sexual and romantic identity.
*me hearing the most romantic song ever* -but what if it's queerplatonic
Happy Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week (Feb 16 2020 - Feb 22nd 2020) !
Here are a few things to keep in mind!
Aromantic is both an orientation and an umbrella term for those who fall on the Aromantic Spectrum
There are multiple arospec identities and all of them are important and worth celebrating
Being Aromantic or Arospec does not mean you’re broken and does not mean something is wrong with you.
It can be hard for some people to accept their Aro identity but that doesn’t mean they aren’t deserving of positivity
Aromanticism and Asexuality are two different things
Aromantic means someone experiences little to no romantic attraction
Aromantic people are allowed to want and be in romantic relationships
Aromantic people are allowed to not want any type of relationship
Platonic relationships are no less important than romantic ones
Lesser known arospec identities are no less deserving of recognition and celebration
Aromantic POC exist
Mentally ill Aromantic people exist
Young Aromantic people exist
Adult Aromantic people exist
Religious Aromantic people exist
You can identify as Aromantic regardless of race, gender identity, age, religion, etc.
It’s okay if you don’t know where you fall on the Aromantic Spectrum
It’s okay if it takes time to realize that you are Aromantic or Arospec
Being Aromantic does not make you a bad person
Aromantic people who also identify as another orientation exist
Aromantic people are allowed to love their identity
Not every Aro experience is the same
Don’t assume that every Aromantic person is the same
You’re allowed to use Aromantic as an umbrella term
Whether you want to use the Split Attraction Model is your choice, but don’t look down on those who choose differently. Someone who only identifies as Aromantic is just as valid and important as someone who identifies as Aromantic and another orientation.
Regardless of where you fall on the Aro Spectrum, you have a right to celebrate this week (and in general!)
Aromantics and Arospecs are allowed to choose to not celebrate if they don’t want to
You’re allowed to love your Aro identity
You’re allowed to struggle with your Aro identity
You’re allowed to have good days and bad days
You’re allowed to talk about your experiences
Aromantic people and Arospec people are part of the LGBT+ community
Aromantic people deserve love in whatever form they want that love
Feel free to add on!
ASAW Embroidery: Day 1
This is a yellow rose patch I embroidered; I like yellow roses as an aro symbol because they symbolize friendship and I think that’s neat.

#ArosAndArrows
Day 3: Awareness
I know it's late but here's my post for today
Here's what I want other people to know about Aromantism:
Aros are not heartless
Aros are not robots
Not all aros want relationships, but some do
Some aros experience other attractions
Some aros experience no attractions at all
[image description: the aromantic flag overlayed with criss-crossing light green and dark grey arrows. Each stripe has words Over them. Over the dark green stripe "Aros are not heartless". Over the light green stripe "Aros are not robots". Over the white stripe "Not all aros want relationships, but some do". Over the grey stripe "Some aros experience other attractions". Over the black stripe "Some aros experience no attractions at all". End description]
