One of the teacher for a day lessons will celebrate Pride Month by taking a look at all the sexual identity flags. The student teacher prepared a slide show to share with her classmates featuring an image of each flag along with an explanation.
As I scanned through her slides, I had to stop at the one with a pride banner featuring gray, green, and white stripes. Aromatic it read. It took me a beat before I realized that auto-correct had struck again, transforming the word aromantic. Even as I type now, there is a menacing red squiggle under that word.
I'll take care to leave it as I have written it, but I can't stop thinking about Aromatic Pride, and what that flag might look like.
