“So, there’s been this big debate lately, are aro and ace people part of the LGBTQ movement? are asexual, and aromantic, and some other people, under our umbrella?
And the answer is: YES. OF COURSE. YOU ARE.
OF COURSE. YOU ARE. WELCOME.
Of course! And there are two things to remember with that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the community, YES: if you want to be.
Right?
I am not ace, I am not aro, and so it’s not up to me to decide who I want to work with, and who I want to align with.
But if it’s up to ME – I’m genderfluid – YES, we need to do work together, and we need to band together, and of course you’re part of my community!
The, the… the other thing to remember is, this is not a battle of ‘gay people versus everybody else,’ or ‘trans people versus everybody else,’ this is that, like, insular, we’re-better-than-you, heteronormative, like, homophobic, like, regular people that’s in every movie, every ad, every single bit of culture, and has been dominant for so many years….
being dismantled. [laughs]
Which makes me happy.
And of course we all need to work together to do that.
So, are ace and aro people part of the LGBTQIAA+ community? Yeah. Of course they are. It’s a big tent. It’s a big umbrella. Let’s work together.”
A common ask we get is where can I get an ace ring? Where can I get one without my parents knowing? Well I found these at Walmart for really cheap! They also had white ones but I didn’t have time to take a photo of it. (Sorry!) If you need cover you can get a set that has school colors, sports colors, or maybe your just fav color. Happy shopping!
Here is to the ones who are aroace (on the aromantic and asexual spectrums) that feel more connected to being aro than ace…
It can be difficult at times to see aromantic identity in general being swept aside but I am here to say as a fellow aromantic and asexual person that it is great being aromantic!
To everyone else: let’s include aromantic more in discussions about romantic attraction identities and how a person can gravitate more towards being aromantic than asexual.
Made some aro wallpapers because I found we were severely lacking in that respect when I was looking for some to use. Sorry about the colors not being perfect. Feel free to use them for whatever! ^.^ Make sure you enlarge them cause otherwise you won’t see the details!
I made some aro ace wallpapers because I hadn’t seen any before! Make sure to enlarge them because you can’t see the details otherwise. Feel free to use them for whatever, sorry if the colors aren’t perfect.
