Flags
An aromantic flag design was proposed in 2014 by Cameron. The two green stripes 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. Later in 2014, Cameron decided to change the yellow stripe to white since the design was too similar to the Jamaican flag. The symbolism of this design is largely the same. 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.
