'''Aromantic asexual''', often shortened to '''aroace''' is an identity meaning that one is both [[Asexual Spectrum|ace-spec]] and [[Aromantic Spectrum|aro-spec]]. Aroace individuals do not often feel sexual or romantic attraction. One does not need to be "fully" aromantic and asexual to be aroace, only on the ace and aro spectrums. So, for example, someone who is [[demisexual]] and [[lithromantic]] would be considered aroace. |

The two shades of blue represent the aroace identity and the spectrum of aroace identities and experiences. The color blue was chosen because it is between aromantic green and asexual purple. White represents wholeness, as well as aroaces who are [[aplatonic]], [[nonamorous]], or otherwise are not seeking a committed partnership. Yellow represents love and relationships that exist outside of conventional romantic and sexual relationships, as yellow is often used to represent platonic love. Orange represents community. It is also in between ace purple and aro green on the color wheel, but in the other direction. |

Revision as of 16:30, 14 January 2020
Aromantic asexual, often shortened to aroace is an identity meaning that one is both ace-spec and aro-spec. Aroace individuals do not often feel sexual or romantic attraction. One does not need to be "fully" aromantic and asexual to be aroace, only on the ace and aro spectrums. So, for example, someone who is demisexual and lithromantic would be considered aroace.
Some aroaces may experience a form of tertiary attraction such as queerplatonic attraction or alterous attraction. If they feel that their tertiary attraction is significant enough to warrant a place alongside their aroace orientation they may identify as oriented aroace, or angled aroace.

The orange and blue aroace flag was created by Tumblr user Aroaesflags on December 11, 2018[1].
The two shades of blue represent the aroace identity and the spectrum of aroace identities and experiences. The color blue was chosen because it is between aromantic green and asexual purple. White represents wholeness, as well as aroaces who are aplatonic, nonamorous, or otherwise are not seeking a committed partnership. Yellow represents love and relationships that exist outside of conventional romantic and sexual relationships, as yellow is often used to represent platonic love. Orange represents community. It is also in between ace purple and aro green on the color wheel, but in the other direction.
