#companionate

“Companionate love” is mainly intended for people on the ace spectrum who have very deep platonic relationships, considering them on par with serious romantic relationships. It is intended as an alternative for queerplatonic, for aces who may feel uncomfortable with that term due to the use of “queer” (which many people have an issue with). So an ace person who is looking for companionate love or has a companionate relationship with someone would call themselves a “compantionate ace”, similar to how aces with non-aromatic orientations are called “romantic aces”.

Color meanings: Pink and yellow at the top and bottom for the colors commonly associated with queerplatonic relationships. The white and black are to show a connection to the aro/ace spectrum, since those two are colors that are commonly found in a lot of flags on that spectrum.

[Note: the original design was yellow, pink, white, black stripes, but was changed because it looked too close to the Polar- designs]
