SwiftySpeedy Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I kind of want to get an Aroace pin to put on my backpack for school either this year or next year. Should I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloThere Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 I mean if you’re confident enough then sure! :D It depends, do your parents know? Do you have enough confidence in your identity? Would you be comfortable with others asking questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwiftySpeedy Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 Well my parents know and accept it, I am confident In my identity and I'm fine with any questions so I think I'm going to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it sorta checks all the mental boxes so if you really want one, go ahead! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AromanticAardvark Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Also: people who don't know the aroace flag but are generally active in today's society will probably be able to tell that your pin is a queer flag (and therefore that you're queer). They just won't know which one it is, so I'd say, only get it if that's something you're comfortable with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Newest Fabled Creature Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 This topic brings me to my own dilemma of wanting to get aromantic pride pins/patches/flags/etc, but my family (other than my brother) don't know that I'm aro. I mean, I kind of already have an aro pin? But it's a pin my friend made of a D&D character of mine who's aro, and I would like a pin that was just the flag. Uhhhg, uncertainty.

I’m honestly considering taking a random pin of mine from my days of robotics and just paint it those colors with sharpie, paper, and tape.

Though I'd only get to use it rarely soon because of school being out, but maybe I will at some point. I just need to be alone in the house, and get the time.

Jot-Aro Kujo Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I have an aro pin on my bag: It will definitely prompt questions from friends and family if you’re not out, but when it comes to the general public, I’ve found people don’t comment on it unless they already know what it is. Which is pretty rare. Then again, I’m 25, so… I have no idea what the situation in high school is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my parents saw me randomly throwing pins with suspiciously lgbtq colors on them onto my backpack, they'd have a few questions. I mean, the uses for it would be limited but it'd just be nice to have as a sort of reminder. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently graduated and don't have a job yet, but once I get that situated and have my own bank acc, I could probably purchase a little pin without it needing to go through any family members that don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
