cameronwhimsy: over the past few months i’ve been reviewing my design of the aro flag, and stuff that’s occurring in the communityand i guess kind of regretting (or re-evaluating) some of the design choices i made? not with the colours, mostly just the meanings of the stripes (which were never really set in stone anyway - they kept changing in my mind when people commented their thoughts) the biggest thing is that because of all the new words and orientations aro-spectrum people are exploring, stripes designated for certain orientations don’t really work in the long run - after all the two top stripes already symbolise the entire community as a spectrum basically the way i’ve been seeing the flag over the past couple of months has been in three sections - with the top pair of colours and the bottom pair of colours being two spectrums green-light green - the aro-spectrum (and aromanticism itself represented by green because green belongs to us now hell yeah) yellow - basically the ‘platonic’ stripe - friendship/platonic and aesthetic attraction/queerplatonic relationships/family, the importance and validity of all non-romantic relationships and feelings and non-romantic forms of love etc. etc. etc. etc. black-grey - the sexuality spectrum - acknowledging aro-aces, aromantic allosexuals, and everything in between because we are a diverse lotso i think this is better but who knows EVERYBODY MIGHT DISAGREE WITH ME [the original post] -- source link
