Aromantic Spectrum

The aromantic spectrum or aromantic umbrella is a group of romantic orientations that all fall under the umbrella term of aromantic. People on the aromantic spectrum may lack romantic attraction or feel it so little that they relate more to the aromantic experience. The common link between people on the aromantic spectrum is that they do not feel the "standard" amount of romantic attraction or they don't feel it in the "standard" way, that alloromantic people do.

People on the aromantic spectrum are often referred to as "aro-spec" for short. Aro-spec people can have any sexual orientation, including ace-spec or allosexual identities.

Flag
Although the aromantic flag can be used to represent the aromantic spectrum, a flag was created that represents all aro-spec people, not just focusing on people who are purely aromantic. The flag was created by Tumblr user Potionflags on August 6, 2020. The flag's color meanings are as follows: Dark green represents aromanticism in all forms. This includes full-aromanticism, demiromanticism, greyromanticism, and so on. Light green represents diversity in attraction and experiences, recognition of the aro-spectrum, and of other experiences within the community. Light yellow represents the aromantic community and it’s history. A yellow stripe has been a staple of many aro flags, such as some older aro flags, the alloaro flag, and the aroace flag, so it’s been in the community for a very long time. Furthermore, yellow flowers are often a symbol of non-romantic love. Teal represents pride in one's identity, self acceptance and acceptance of others, and solidarity, with both other aros and with other aspecs. Dark teal represents recognition that aro-specs are they own separate identity, not just part of asexuality. They are not a modifier, and are a fully independent identity that can be used with other labels, or used entirely on it’s own.
