Aromantic - Homoromantic flag

Asexual - Homosexual flag

so, as someone who personally vibes with this and has gotten SO many questions about if it's a Thing, I've decided, fuck it, yeah, it is a thing.

let's coin oriented aromanticism.

oriented aros are similar to oriented aroaces, but it's a term for aro folks who fall under the non-SAM / "just aro" umbrellas; we are aromantic, and experience some type of attraction which we'd like to label or describe, and often cannot or prefer not to label further (ie, specifying the type of attraction).

aroqueer, already an established term, would be one such example.

you don't care if it'll be romantic, queerplatonic, alterous or any other type? wonderful 🤍

you don't have to put a label on it if you don't want to ⚘

you just want to be together with the person's company you enjoy? incredible 🥰

hi! i'm gonna point you to the coining post i had made for oriented aro identities on @just-aro. basically, the idea is that you are aro, and can't or don't want to identify a specific type of attraction you feel aligned with in some form. this could be any m-spec orientation!
