==Flags== At least three different aromantic community flag designs have been proposed. Currently, the most popular is the design with two shades of green, white, gray, and black. This design is used both in the graphic design for the aromantic forum [http://www.arocalypse.com/ Arocalypse], the aromantic advocacy site [https://www.aromanticism.org/ AUREA], and [https://www.aromantic.lgbt aromantic-official]. [[File:Aromantic_flag2.png|thumb|150x150px|Oldest flag design|left]] The oldest aromantic flag design was proposed sometime during or before 2011, via the now-defunct website of the National Coalition for Aromantic Visibility.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110624081104/http://www.aromantic.org/ National Coalition for Aromantic Visibility]</ref> This design featured horizontal stripes in the colors green, yellow, orange, and black. According to their website, "Green is for aromantics, who do not naturally experience romantic attachment. Yellow represents [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_friendship romantic friendship], friends with benefits, and [[Queerplatonic|friendship dating]]. Orange stands for [[Lithromantic|lithromantics]], individuals who experience romantic love but do not wish it returned. And finally, the black stripe is for romantics who consciously choose to reject traditional romantic culture." This flag was subject to [https://anagnori.tumblr.com/post/73259504551/ace-actually-anagnori-asexualityresources extensive] [https://aromanticnerd.tumblr.com/post/78499115232/hi-could-you-please-tell-me-what-the-flag-in-your criticism]. [[File:Aromantic_flag.png|thumb|150x150px|Green, light green, yellow, gray, and black flag|left]]An alternative flag design was proposed in 2014 by Cameron, maintaining the green and yellow but introducing more of a gradient design, with two slightly different shades of green and preceding the black stripe with a stripe of gray.<ref>[https://cameronwhimsy.tumblr.com/post/76171734958/darthlenaplant-cameronwhimsy Introduction of the Green, Yellow, and Grayscale Flag]</ref> The two greens represent the [[aromantic spectrum]], the yellow represents [[platonic]] love and relationships, and the gray and black stripes represent the sexuality spectrum, representing aromantics of all sexual orientations.<ref>[https://cameronwhimsy.tumblr.com/post/95352732283/over-the-past-few-months-ive-been-reviewing-my Symbolism of the Green, Yellow, and Grayscale Flag]</ref> [[File:Modernaromantic.svg|thumb|150x150px|Green, light green, white, gray, and black flag|left]] Later in 2014, Cameron decided to change the yellow stripe to white.<ref>[https://cameronwhimsy.tumblr.com/post/95390502718/usually-i-dont-do-this-but-i-found-that-new-and Introduction of the Green, White, and Grayscale Flag]</ref> This is probably the flag design that most aromantics are used to, unless the have been aromantic for 7 years+. The symbolism of this design is largely the same.<ref>[https://cameronwhimsy.tumblr.com/post/102698477928/whoops-yeah-i-just-realised-i-never-actually-made Symbolism of the Green, White, and Grayscale Flag]</ref> This flag has since been embraced and gained the most popularity as a flag for the aromantic community. As stated in Cameron's explanation, this flag design is explicitly intended for the entire [[Aromantic spectrum|aromantic umbrella]], including [[Gray-romantic|grayromantics]], [[Demiromantic|demiromantics]], [[Lithromantic|lithromantics]], and more.
