== History ==
The term aplatonic was first introduced by a homoromantic asexual on the AVEN forums on April 6, 2012.<ref>[https://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/73079-aplatonic/ Aplatonic]</ref> In his words, "I have friends and care about them; but love is a powerful word, and one I cannot apply to them."
Aplatonic seems to have been independently coined by aroarolibrary on Dec 30, 2014.<ref>[https://aroarolibrary.tumblr.com/post/106663269439/im-going-to-make-aplatonic-a-thing Aroarolibrary]</ref>
== Flag ==
The earliest remaining record of the purple, blue, and green aplatonic flag is a submission to the now-deactivated pride-flags-for-us Tumblr blog somtime before December 30, 2014.<ref>[https://aroarolibrary.tumblr.com/post/106685973494/pride-flags-for-us-aplatonic-describes-someone Aplatonic Flag submitted to pride-flags-for-us]</ref>
The earliest remaining record of the purple, blue, and green aplatonic flag is from the DeviantArt page Pride-Flag on August 17, 2015.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/pride-flags/art/Aplatonic-1-554424536 Aplatonic Flag posted by Pride-Flags]</ref> It seems that the flag existed before then, but any evidence of its creation no longer exists. The colors are the inverse of yellow, pink, and brown, colors that are typically used to represent friendship. White represents how an aplatonic people can still be [[Allosexual|allosexual/alloromantic]], a reference to the white stripe on the [[asexual]] and [[aromantic]] flags. Cream was used instead of pure white to make the flag more visually appealing. ▼
