'''Queeragamic '''is a
== Controversy ==
The term has been criticized by may people in the a-spec community, particularly those in the [[Aromantic Allosexual|aromantic allosexual]] community. Reason for such include:
* In the coining post the coiner appears to express discomfort at possibly being associated with people who have sex, which echoes exclusionary sentiments of [[Asexual|asexuals]] feeling uncomfortable in shared asexual and [[aromantic]] spaces due to alloaros simply existing.<ref>https://shades-of-grayro.tumblr.com/post/190413427190/thoughts-on-queeragamic</ref> The term "non-sexual qpr" could have been used, but the creation of a new term seems to reflect that the coiner doesn’t want to be potentially associated with alloaros even in an abstract way.
* The existence of the term implies that queerplatonic relationships are inherently sexual, which is untrue.
* No single word will ever be able to communicate exactly what one wants in a relationship. The term may be used as a excuse not to communicate with one's partner about what activities they are comfortable with in their relationship.
* The term makes a direct, intentional reference to asexual reproduction, which is a concept used to perpetuate stereotypes about asexuals.
* The coiner refused to respond to any criticism of the term, calling it all “hate.”<ref>https://queeragamic-info.tumblr.com/post/645391740653780992/queeragamic</ref>
== History ==
The term was coined on January 17, 2020 by Tumblr user queerplatonicpositivity.<ref>https://queerplatonicpositivity.tumblr.com/post/190317803425/queeragamic</ref> The term comes from "queer" from queerplatonic, and "agamic", a term in biology referring to reproduction without sex.
== Flag ==
The flag was created at the same time as the term. Yellow symbolizes [[Platonic Attraction|platonic]] relationships. Light teal is a mixture of colors that blends the calm of blue with the renewal of green. Lavender symbolizes queerness. Dark grey symbolizes a mixture of black for asexual and lighter grey for [[demisexual]] and [[greyasexual]] identities.
