Right Back Where We Started

Btw, on valentines day im holding everyone under the arospec and acespecs hands and we’re all gonna sit in the circle and infodump while drinking hot cocoa and eating chicken noodle soup

with the note that invisibility isn’t privilege I’d like to remind people how erased aro people are

like I work with several queer people, gay and bi and such. Not one of them knew what aro or queer platonic was before I told them

during pride month you know what flag they don’t have in general stores? Aro

Even at pride itself when I went last year, there were four aro things. That’s it. Do you know how depressing that is to go to the queer place specially and you have to stop at every single stall to scour for a single thing to represent you?

we need to normalize aromantism. We need to stop more than friends and “you laughed at what he said you’re in love!” Or “you spent the night with her just admit you’re gay” attitudes. Romance is not required to be a human and it’s not required for intimacy. It should be just as known and accepted as being gay.

Aromantic, Gray-romantic, and Lithromantic stuff.

Yes. Thank you. I hate feeling awkward whenever I'm about to ask a guy friend to hang out with, just because of the automatic assumption that I romantically like him. Just... Sigh. 😧😔
