Aro Ace & Aroace flag variant set

Here is a collection of Asexual vs. Aromantic vs. Aroace equivalent flags for Ace Week! As mirroring orientations in sexual and romantic spheres these are nearly identical save for their defining colors.

It would be swell if the aromantic and asexual flags had the same number of stripes - be it 4 or 5. Less is more, so I vote 4 since the extra light-green in the aromantic 5-stripe flag is the same as agender's sole representative color. It unnecessarily complicates things for those of us who are both aromantic and agender, especially if we wish to use multi a-spec flags and gear. There are lots of variants out there so use what you like best!

Aromantic - dark green

Asexual - purple / violet

Agender - light green

Aroace - blue(& orange) or dark green/purple

Trying something on

I'm trying on the label of Demiromantic. I've realized that it's really hard for me to be interested in dating someone I'm not already friends with and I pretty much adapted a "fake it till you make it" approach from a young age. I have always been more likely to develop a crush on people I was already friends with, and since discovering the split-attraction model 4 years ago, realized that all my "non-friend crushes" were limited to aesthetic attraction. So I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm Demiromantic, in addition to being Graysexual and Bi. I'll see how that feels and change it again if I need to. 💜💟🖤

[lilyliveredlittlerichboy]

should have known you were a succubus when i found myself, my whole ass ace(/demigrace/demirom) self, attracted to you.

without knowing you. without seeing your soul.

that doesn't happen, usually.

[dateademisexualpersonwho]

Can you explain me what demigrace or demi-gray means?

well, this may be demisexual/grayromantic, demiromantic/graysexual, demisexual/graysexual, or demiromantic/grayromantic. Either way...

Demisexual/romantic means that a special bond must occur before sexual/romantic feelings can be felt.

and graysexual/romantic means that sexual or romantic feels made fade in and out, being felt very minimally or for short periods of time.

These can both be felt for sexual or romantic, or both at once for them. -mod Jay

I wrote a little snippet including a pan character. His best friend (also not straight) said ‘You can be as gay as you want-‘ as a joke, and the pan character replied, also jokingly, ‘this is pan erasure. We do not tolerate that kind of homophobia in this household.’

I make jokes like that all the time. I’m panro/demigrace, and I’ll say ‘gay rights’ and the like, lol.

It’s a joke- as long as the other character isn’t being disrespectful towards them, (ie: the bi character has nicely asked them to stop doing that), I see no issue with it. :3

I'm a bisexual person writing about two characters in a romantic relationship; A is gay, and B is bi. I wanted to include some "that's gay" jokes in a healthy, teasing way where no one is bashing the other, but I'm afraid it might come off as bi-erasure. Through-out the story A acknowledges and talks about B's bi-ness and B is very open about being bi. Am I in the clear, or do I need to be concerned? I was just hoping y'all could steer me in the right direction. Thanks!

Honestly, I think you should probably be fine. Just to be really safe, you could probably incorporate some small exchange where B makes it super clear that they self-refer as gay within joke contexts. Even just a,

“That’s bi.”

“You can say it’s gay if you want, I know you know I’m bi but I like the word gay in these contexts [too, if applicable].”

That kind of thing should definitely cover your bases.

But honestly being an #OwnVoices situation, I think it’s probably fine if you don’t include it, assuming you’re open about it being an #OwnVoices situation.

"There’s a reason it’s called a spectrum"

I just thought I’d share this in case other people can relate.

Before I found tumblr or had heard the word “demisexual”, I just thought I was weird. I had never had “crushes” on anyone I knew, and I never really thought about it unless someone asked me. My friends didn’t seem to believe that I didn’t have a crush, so they’d ask me who I thought was cute. Before I knew better, I’d say, “Oh, I guess X is cute” because I thought he was, but then my friends thought I had a crush on X even though I didn’t at all. This led to a lot of awkward conversations where I learned that if I thought someone was attractive, I was supposed to have a crush on them.

I’ve always seen some people as attractive; I’m just not attracted to them. The only person whom I’ve ever been sexually attracted to is my current boyfriend, who I was friends with for a year before the thought of being more than that even occurred to me.

While I’m now comfortable with my sexuality and the label I’ve chosen, people have called me out on how I’m not “really” demisexual because I see people as attractive even if I don’t know them well. But in my mind there is a big difference between “wow he’s hot” and “I want him to fuck me against a table”, and this difference doesn’t seem to exist in “normal” sexual people.

For anyone out there whose sexuality is somewhat like mine, don’t worry! You’re not “weird” and you’re not lying when you say you’re demisexual. There’s a reason it’s called a spectrum– you can fall anywhere on it and still be normal. Go by the label you think fits best, and don’t worry what other people say. It’s not their choice.

(And thanks for creating this community where I feel comfortable telling people this; I know that I won’t be judged or called out on for being who I am.)

Thanks for sharing your story! I'm really glad you've come to be comfortable with your identity; hopefully others who read this can relate and become more comfortable with themselves.

I just want to add that ALL humans who experience any type of attraction can experience varying degrees of it—you don't have to be ace to experience the distinction between "wow he's hot" and "I want him to fuck me against a table." A lot of aces seem to think that non-ace people are only capable of having a binary state of sexual attraction—either on or off—which is not the case. It's just that most people don't talk about these nuances because they're not critical to their sexual identities. We're the ones who talk about it and analyze it so much!

[SWIPE LEFT] I'm not a fan of looking back because forward is the only place I want to move. But it's important to appreciate your last blessing while you're waiting for your next. Last year at the 2016 VMAs, Beyoncé shared her stage with and taught me some of the most important lessons in this business...and most of those without saying a word.

Came out to three more coworkers today who asked me about my ace ring. One was touch and go but came around in the end. Baby steps....
