Happy Pride month everyone!! so uh i'm coming out as bellusromantic (and aegosxual, but that's not what this project is based on), which is apart of the aro-spectrum. It's basically where you enjoy romantic gestures or touch in a non-romantic context (such as cuddling, kissing and/or holding hands), and feel little to no romantic attraction. This project is basically me feeling under-represented due to my specific orientation, and uh yeah- I feel like most to all aro-spec people i've met or seen, i couldn't relate to their experiences other than the baseline "no romantic feelings", and it always felt that I was alone, but I do know (from numerous memes) that I'm not alone, and there are others who feel similar to me! And to you too, if you're struggling with feeling under-represented with your orientation, or feel invalidated due to it, just know that you are valid, no matter how different you may feel from others!! Definitions for the thingies used for this: Aromantic - An umbrella term for those who generally feel little to no romantic attraction. Bellusromantic (i- i just said-) - A microlabel in the aromantic spectrum for those who enjoy romantic gestures in non-romantic contexts, and feel little to no romantic interest. Aromantic Spectrum (or Aro-spec) - The aromantic spectrum for those who fall under more specific labels than the baseline definition. Umbrella term - In the context of the LGBT+ community, refers to a term or identity that encompasses several other identities. It usually refers to a group of sexualities or gender identities that have something in common. (taken from lgbtqia.wiki)
