Happy pride to you grayromantic polyamorists!  Don’t get it twisted: aro-spec folks including grayromantic (also seen as gray-aromantic, greyromantic, and grey-aromantic) people feel and experience a full spectrum of love and love-feelings. They may feel limited or less frequent romantic attraction, but romantic attraction is merely one sensation in the nebula of -amory. We’re so lucky to have you, grayromantics. Thanks for being your truest you!

Happy non-binary pride! Non-binary (nb, enby) is an umbrella term for any gender identities that the terms man/male and woman/female don’t apply to. Non-binary is also often used interchangeably with genderqueer, though many see them as distinct descriptors. We’ve applied a definition to our post, but there are many enbies who don’t feel this definition applies to them. That’s okay! You are all welcome here. And please feel free to add a definition that works best for you in the replies! If you’re a polyamorous enby, we see you, and we’re so happy to have you in our community! Happy pride

We originally posted this one on our instagram on “coming out day”. Even though that day’s long past now we couldn’t leave such an important part of our pride series out so we’re sharing it on tumblr as well!

Of course coming out day isn’t a demand. It’s a gentle and unconditional invitation. It’s a reminder that, even if you feel the truth of your identity isn’t welcome by the people closest to you, there’s an entire world of people waiting to embrace you exactly as you are.

If you’re feeling safe and comfortable to come out, please know we’re here. The water’s fine. If you’re not ready yet, you still belong here. And this big gay pool party’s not going anywhere. We’ll wait as long as it takes.

Happy pride, loves!
