Queering Relationships: Aromantic and Asexual Perspectives

Aromantic and asexual people often find that they “pick and choose” aspects of the significant relationships that they form. Developed by members of TAAAP for Creating Change 2019, this presentation reviews how aromantic and asexual people approach relationships and how all people can use these approaches to form fulfilling relationships without being tied to existing relationship models. This will help present new, practical approaches to consent and the gender and financial dynamics that are a part of any relationship.
