arotaro: I tried my hand at making an allosexual aromantic flag, after some discussion with others; It was fairly well received on Arocalypse, so I thought I’d post it here. Obviously, no one has to use this flag if they don’t want to, and if you’re interested, I’ve created a survey to gather input on the flag: https://goo.gl/forms/PFINgMKNDfa0UDLh2It was important to me that the flag very obviously look like an offshoot of the aro flag, and I kept the shades of green the same as the aro flag for convenience of use. The color gold was chosen as the second color not only because it looks nice with green, but also because it’s the opposite of purple on the color wheel (with purple being the color associated with asexuality). As for what the color stripes represent:Green - The aromantic community. Our place in this community and the solidarity and support we share with fellow aros. (Aro green.)Light green - Lack of attraction, differentiating us from others. This obviously includes lack of romantic attraction, but can also include aros who don’t desire close platonic partnerships, aros who identify as ace-spec along with another sexual orientation, etc. (Also aro green, because lack of romantic attraction is what makes us aro.)White - Diversity of sexuality. For welcoming and uniting all allosexual aros, no matter what their sexual orientation, and for acknowledging a broad range of sexual experiences and relationships with one’s own sexuality. (White, because white light is made up of all other colors of light mixed together.)Light gold - Relationships, be they sexual relationships, QPRs, romantic relationships, friendships, family bonds, or any other type of relationships. (Light gold, because our relationships are important and precious, but not always necessary or defining of who we are.)Gold - Inhererent wholeness and worth. We aren’t missing anything. We’re not broken, we don’t need anyone to complete us, and we are born perfect the way we are. We’re individuals and we have just as much worth as anyone else. (Gold, because we’re gold.) -- source link
