Aromantic Pride Flag

Aromantic people may or may not be interested in sex but never or rarely experience romantic attraction.

Many place themselves on a spectrum – a range of (low to no) levels of romantic attraction. This includes ‘grey-aromantic’ and demi-romantic people who typically only feel romantic once they’ve built a deep relationship with someone.

Australian Tumblr user ‘Cameron’ created the Aromantic Pride Flag in November 2014, updating their previous design.

Dark green represents aromanticism while light green is for the aromantic spectrum.

Platonic attraction is literally non-physical attraction, as you may be attracted to a friend. While ‘aesthetic’ attraction means you can objectively find someone beautiful without feeling personally sexually or romantically interested. This range is represented by white.

The grey stripe is for grey-aromantic and demiromantic people. And finally black symbolises the sexuality spectrum.

What Does It Mean to Be Aromantic?

Being aromantic means experiencing little to no romantic attraction toward others. Aromantic individuals may not feel a desire for traditional romantic relationships but can still have deep, meaningful connections, such as friendships or familial bonds. This identity is about how someone experiences (or doesn’t experience) romantic attraction, and it varies widely from person to person.
