Collie Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 My therapist knew about the aro flag, as she asked about my aro pride pin in one of our sessions. But yeah, most people just think I like the colors or something. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Bishop best arrowace Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Someone: What are your favorite colors Me: Green and Purple My parents are really great about my gender stuff but I get the feeling from when I explained ace (in a very This is Other People way) that they won't be very happy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family wise, not a single one has any idea that I am aro. Friend wise, they deduced it once I told them that I was aro, cuz they know I am sneaky showing things. I am amazed that so very people actually suspect about pride colors, given that it is not thaaaat hard to look into the internet. Maybe it is because they go nop-nop and actively choose to ignore it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karo Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yes It is amazing my phone lock and home screen is the ace and aro flag and no one knows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatpunk Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Us having the aro flag as a lock screen seems really common! I'll make sure to think about all the other sneaky aros out there the next time I look at my phone. Another thing, that's both good and bad, is that we technically don't have to lie about anything. I can say that I'm not in a relationship and that I don't want one, and no one draws the conclusion that I'm aro. It can be pretty nice to not be questioned all the time, so I guess invisibility is a super power as well as a curse. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairdesklamp Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Since everyone's talking about the colours, I'm only guessing this site isn't grey. Aros seem to be more stuck on the colour than anyone else, and it just *has* to be the one I have the most trouble with and that makes me feel pretty rotten.

I think most allos just don’t think about it, or don’t think about allyship, unless its brought up to them. Kinda weird, but I get it in a vague sense? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboticanary Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 My way of a little closeted pride has been my drawers of craft stuff. Whole load of small stuff packed away in a cupboard so few other people see it, and I have slowly been painting bits in so the front of the drawers are in aro colours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 My closeted pride had been mainly just creating stuff online. Now that I hear about how almost nobody reconizes the aro flag, I will see if I can put it on my phone case as well. For now though, I will just keep on making word clouds, going on aro tumblr blogs. and dressing up in the colors of the aro flag on valentines day (and of course nobody notices.) I love how everyone sneakily shows their pride! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest - aro? Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I made pins out of shrink plastic- one of bubble tea in the aro pride flag colors, green, lighter green, white, and grey near the black tapioca pearls (no one has noticed at all, and I'm glad, as I can just keep it to myself as a little symbol of pride). Another one I made was in queerplatonic flag colors, a slushie-looking drink with whipped cream and a pink cherry, with yellow pink and white as the main colors, with grey near the dark chocolate drizzle at the bottom. They're really small and not that recognizable but I think they're cute and have shown them off to some of the few friends I'm out to.

cassssssss Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Though we are in a pandemic right now, my school uniform and the whole aesthetic of it is very green. Plus green is already my favorite color, so that’s a plus! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AroAcedragon13 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 My lock screen is the aro flag and my home screen is a planet in the aroace flag colors.I wear bracelets with the colors of the flags and the keychains on my bag match.My computer background is the aroace flag.Other people have noticed but never said anything until I did. otherwise I'm surprised no one has questioned it honestly.

Collie Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 When I go to conventions and such usually one or two people notice the aro colors. It's not super common, but nerd/geek culture is apparently queer enough that nerds/geeks know more about LGBTQIA stuff than does the general public. Oh. I have also had people at work notice my ace colors. Twice, anyway. Doesn't happen often. Another time someone asked me what my ace pin meant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background for the text is grey but headings have a green background and there's green and gray colors at the top. Maybe we should add an arrow to the aro pride flag. Would that help you?

POOKEMOOSTER Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 My background is a stack of 5 cats in the aro flag colors with a frog on top and the top cat has a bow and arrow. (Nearly wrote aro instead of arrow) I have attached it 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
