Queerromantic is similar but not the same as an already existing term Queerplatonic

Queerromantic, or Queer Romantic/Queer-romantic is a romantic relationship or romantic attraction that queers traditional norms on what is platonic and romantic or strays from the idea of only being one or the other

Queerromantic relationships can be sexual but it is not an inherent part of what it is because romance and sexuality are two different concepts

A queerromantic relationship can very greatly from person to person and there is not a “right” or “wrong” way to it, but examples of a queerromantic relationship can include:

• being both friends and romantic partners simultaneously or fluctuating between the two

• being in a romantic relationship that you feel in some way ‘queers’ traditional norms around platonic and romantic relationships

• one or both partners being cupioromantic and choosing to date/have a romantic relationship despite not experiencing romantic attraction

What seperates this term from Queerplatonic is the nature of the relationship(s) and how the people involved view their relationship

This term was made with aromantic/aro-spec people in mind but anyone can use this if they feel it applies to attraction they expirence

The flag is a recolored version of the queer platonic flag where the pink is replaced with a almost-red color that’s slightly lighter than red but doesn’t hit pink-pink territory either to represent the romantic nature of QRRs (Queer-romantic relationships) but also representing how Queerromantic relationships queer away from traditional romantic relationship norms

You can call queerromantic partners simply just “parnters”, “boyfriends”, “girlfriends”, “enbyfriends”, etc. but you can also use terms like:

boy/girl/enbyfriend-friend, or BFND, GFND, EFND

QRP, or just Queerromanric partnter

Queerous-lover/Queerous-partner

There is no credit needed for anything here as long as you dont claim you created anything in this post yourself

Note: Some aromantic people can date despite not being romantically attracted to the person, and some aro people do expirence a little bit of attraction even if not to the same capacity as alloromantic (non-aromantic) folk

Edit: It has been brought to my attention that the earliest usage of the term is https://forum.emptyclosets.com/index.php?threads/queerplatonic-vs-queerromantic.387827/ on January 9th, 2015 by user Omnisexual

The term was also brought on tumblr 5 years later before by @doxi-term-coining on September 30th 2020

I should also note that this term should not be confused with the romantic orientation Queeromantic as it is an unrelated word and concept with an almost similar name

Like how queerplatonic basically means "idk what this is or maybe I do but it's defo not average or what ppl expect from this" can we have the same for like sexual attraction/sexual relationships and romantic ones?

Like they could be aro/aco underlabels that don't necessarily mean "don't experience x attraction, but experience it inherently differently than others"

Wonky flag I made on Ibis Paint X, go!

I honestly am not sure what to call this. Homoromantic heterosexual? Queerromantic heterosexual? I feel like nowadays lesbians and gays on the internet mostly use the sunset lesbian flag and the blue gay men flag and the rainbow is a symbol, not reserved only to gay (men).

Anyways, I did this in Summer when I shortly questioned if I even liked men romantically. This is a modified version of a biromantic heteroflag I did like a year ago.

Queerromantic and appromour are two words that could fit what you feel. The first is a word I coined that refers to a romantic relationship that doesn't fit in with traditional expectations of a romantic relationship, the second is for something that's somewhere between a romantic relationship and a qpr. Hope that helps? c:

Also a side idea if you wanted to you could smush together the two words you used to make "apothicupioromantic", which would mean wanting a romantic relationship while being still repulsed by certain/many aspects of romance. Might look confusing to people at first but it would mean they wouldn't think you're either one or the other, and then they can ask for clarification. Just a thought cause I like coining stuff lol.
