'''Nonamory''' is a [[Relational Alignment|relationship orientation]] that indicates one does not desire intimate, committed, long-term partnerships. This can include [[romantic]], [[sexual]], [[queerplatonic]], or [[platonic]] life-partners.
Nonamorous
Since nonamory is a lifestyle that one can choose, an alloromantic
In some cases, it may be used interchangebly with [[afidelitous]], [[agamous]], and/or [[Non-partnering|non-partnering.]]
== History ==
Nonamorous was coined by Tumblr user Anagnori on December 1, 2013.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20150319031502/https://anagnori.tumblr.com/post/68737057155/nonamory</ref> The term originated from a conversation between them and the user Uselessladders.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20181216182823/https://anagnori.tumblr.com/post/68729400949/adding-to-the-aromantic-asexual-conversation</ref>
However, when potential alternatives to nonamorous were created, they were similarly
Ndnhawks later backtracked on their statement<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20230627011226/https://www.tumblr.com/ndnhawks/186105702651/can-we-please-stop-throwing-words-around-and-just?source=share</ref>, and the controversy died down.
== Flag ==
The main nonamorous flag was designed by an anonymous
* Indigo represents the integrity nonamorous individuals show towards themselves in spite of social pressure to enter into [[monogamous]] relationships.
* Amber represents the joy, independence, and confidence nonamorous individuals harbor, both in non-monogamous relationships and with themselves, as well as solidarity.
* Turquoise represents the healing and self-sufficiency nonamorous
* The letter V was use to represent adventurousness and creativity in how nonamorous individuals relate to the world, and to represent how nonamory has long been in ‘uncharted waters’ in terms of general awareness and acceptance.
Before that, there were two other nonamorous flags. One was proposed by deviantart user enbygsrd on September 16, 2016.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/enbygsrd/art/Nonamory-Pride-Flag-proposal-634770531</ref> The other is the greyscale flag that was made by an unknown creator on, or before, June 8, 2017.<ref>https://pride-color-schemes.tumblr.com/post/161766431588/nonamory</ref> The color meaning is as follows : Over the bars is a white “∅”, which is used as a null symbol, representing not wanting to have intimate long-term relationships. The colors are meant to represent sort of supporting yourself and being independent as well.
▲Indigo represents the integrity nonamorous people show towards themselves in spite of social pressure to enter into monogamous relationships. Magenta represents compassion and solidarity between members of the nonamorous community as well as other people who struggle against the pressures of a hetero- and monogamocentric society. It also represents the harmony we can achieve outside of ‘traditional’ long-term partnerships. Amber represents the joy, independence, and confidence nonamorous people harbor, both in non-monogamous relationships and with themselves, as well as solidarity.
Another alternate flag is a redesign of the main nonamorous flag by tumblr user FlippingPancake.<ref>https://flippingpancake.tumblr.com/post/654348761212026880/id-three-similar-flags-with-a-few-difference</ref> The color meanings are the same. Aside from the main one, there were two other variants. One more similar to the original, and one simplified version.
▲Turquoise represents the healing and self-sufficiency nonamorous people find as a community despite living in a world that treats them as ‘incomplete’ for not seeking out a monogamous partnership. The letter V was use to represent adventurousness and creativity in how nonamorous people relate to the world, and to represent how nonamory has long been in ‘uncharted waters’ in terms of general awareness and acceptance.
