Just an idea I had for an aspec flag.
I haven’t really seen a flag that has been widely adopted for the greater aspec community as a whole, and I thought to throw my own hat into the ring because why not.
More about the flag in the break below
[ID: A pride flag with five horizontal stripes of: Green, yellow, cream, medium blue, and purple. There is a small four pointed star in the center. End ID.]
I wanted to create a new aspec flag, mainly because the aspec flags we have only included aro and ace people, and completely forget not only aplatonic and agender people, but also other less known types of lack of attraction.
I wanted to made a flag inclusive to all aspec people that dont just stop on the ace and aro part of the community. Our community is diverse and beautiful, and I find unfair that there only flags that erase these amazing labels! (This is by no means hating on the people who made these flags!)
Here the stripes' and symbol's meanings:
Green Stripe - The green strip represents aromantic and agender people!
Yellow Stripe - Similar to the aroace flag, the yellow stripe represents love and relationships outside of amatonormativity ideas from our society. It also represents how our community fight against amatonormativity and radicalize the word "love". (Eg, but not limited to: Loveless, lovepunk and lovequeer aspecs). The yellow stripe also represents tertiary attraction.
White Stripe - The white stripe represents the diversity of the aspec community.
Blue Stripe - Like the aplatonic flag, the blue color is the opposite of yellow, that generally represents friendships and platonic attraction. This stripe represents anyone who is aplatonic.
Purple Stripe - This stripe represents asexual people, but also the aspec community as a whole.
Compass Rose Symbol - This symbol was inspired from the @the-moon-is-aroace 's aspec flag! Only changing the color for aesthetic reasons! I'm quoting their definition:
"The compass rose in the middle is a symbol of how we all experience attraction in different ways (this isn’t really symbolic of any specific plane or planes of attraction), as I think it would be central to a flag that represents an entire spectrum of identities to have something that symbolizes such an idea."
Well thats the post. At least in the beginning, if you use this flag, please credit me.
Have a nice day/night :D
