Queerplatonic Attraction
Queerplatonic attraction is a form of attraction experienced mainly, but not exclusively, by a-spec people. Queerplatonic attraction can be very similar to platonic attraction and alterous attraction. For some people these types of attraction greatly overlap and they do not make any distinction between them. For others they may feel like there is a clear distinction between these feelings. A queerplatonic crush can be called a plush or a squash.
Someone who does not experience queerplatonic attraction or does not desire queerplatonic relationships may call themself aqueerplatonic. Queerplatonic attraction is not a requirement for a QPR, though. Some aqueerplatonic people may still want or have queerplatonic relationship, they just do not get plushes. Other aqueerplatonic might not desire a queerplatonic relationship. They may also identify as nonamorous.
History
The term queerplatonic originated among asexuals to describe an ambiguous category outside the strict categories of romance and friendship.[1] The term was first used by Meloukhia in the comment section of a 2010 Dreamwidth post.[2] In 2011, Meloukhia, also known as S. E. Smith, introduced the term on Tumblr.[3]
Symbolism
Currently, there is no consensus on queerplatonic symbolism. At least four different flag designs have been proposed for queerplatonic.[4] Most of these flags use the colors yellow and pink. Yellow is commonly used to symbolize platonic relationships. Pink is possibly use because it is a light form of red, which is commonly used to represent romantic attraction, showing that queerplatonic relationships can sometimes resemble romantic relationships but that they are different nonetheless.
