The Relatable Aro/Ace

Random stuff, random memes, but mostly random aro/ace stuff and other LGBT+ things. I am nonbinary (they/them)

honestly the boundaries between friendship and romance don’t really matter that much like at all if everyone involved is ok with it

[fluttershyplushie]

like most of what is and isn’t romance is cultural/constructed anyways... you can take and leave what you want with it as long as you maintain boundaries. does that make sense

we put so much importance on romantic love in queer spaces that i think we can forget about how important queer friendships are. having queer friends makes it so much easier to accept yourself and learn to accept others. queer friendships have so much love stored in them

[queeraffectionss]

for me personally at least, platonic relationships are when you look at each other knowingly, not in a romantic way and probably never in a sexual way, but you both exchange looks going “that’s my person.” and it’s the most comforting feeling in the world.

Boundaries and consent matter for romance too. You have the final say over what you're comfortable with or not.

before you make fun of a person doing something brave and vulnerable like dancing or singing or reading poetry in front of a lot of people:

don’t.

Ace and aro culture is doubting your identity one second because you experience aesthetic attraction and then getting into a situation where you realize "damn I'm so a-spec, how could I ever think otherwise lol"

Remember all these things!! It’s important you remain safe, healthy, and happy at pride this year. Pride is about celebrating our differences and remembering the lives lost and sacrificed for the ability to have these events and be open about ourselves. You can’t enjoy pride if you’re sick or unsafe. :)

WE ARE QUEER: VISUAL ARCHIVE PROJECT ​

For the world, for our families, for our friends, we have always been a subject of curiosity, bullying, and harassment. But we are sick of this. We, Queer people, are sick of complying with the rules, the social fabric and the society, that can’t see us happy, that can’t see us in love, that can’t see us living our life, the way we want to.

For almost two decades, Nepali queer people have been fighting for equal rights, regardless of the fact that that society and the country have always made them, migrant to their own home. They have been silenced, beaten, harassed, and even killed. They faced discrimination and humiliation from their friends, families, society and the state. But still, nothing has stopped them. Their determination and perseverance are exemplary, and not only are they marching the flags for themselves, but they are definitely making things easy for the future generation as well. To honour those people who have been fighting for equality, both on the frontline or in silent wars against queerphobia, we the team of Kaalo.101, initiated this visual archive project, WE ARE QUEER for this year’s Pride month.

The archive project is a documentation of Nepal’s queer movement, celebrating both small and big wins. It primarily is an online visual archive and showcases pictures of queer people, their struggles, their celebrations and many more.

With our collaborative effort, we hope to be successful in this project and hold space  for discourses and create platforms for archiving queer history.

To lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given side-eye when you tried to fit in…. you are so worthy of love.
