An Arospec and Acespec Safe Space

Many aroace flags have been presented over the years and I have not been able to find a post containing all of them, so here is a post containing those proposed. These aren’t in any particular order.

To my knowledge, there have been nine distinct flags proposed, all of which I’ve seen used by at least one person. If there are any I missed, let me know.

Here is the current one:

Note the five stripes and the one in the middle being white and not yellow. A lot of aros at the time of the flag’s creation had issues with eye strain when the yellow one was more common, so the yellow stripe was switched out for white to accommodate them.

They are not in your head. They do not know how you feel. They do not understand what is going on inside of you.

The only person that can tell you who you are is you. And if you feel it and believe it then it is valid.

Let me tell you, as someone who bounced around and spent years trying to find a label to explain my orentation, finding one that almost fits is still alienating. You often won’t relate to the rest of that community, because you’re experiances are different. It’s not always a lot, but it can be very noticeable. You’ll find yourself explaining why you’re different than the definition, which can lead to feeling like you’re misusing the word or feeling like you don’t belong.
