List of people on the aromantic spectrum explained
This is a list of notable people on the spectrum of aromanticism who have been open about their romantic orientation. The number of notable aromantic individuals is likely to be several times higher than the number of individuals who appear on this list due to fact that many famous people have hidden their romantic orientations.
Aromanticism is a romantic orientation characterized by experiencing little to no romantic attraction.[1] [2] The term "aromantic", colloquially shortened to "aro", refers to a person who identifies their romantic orientation as aromanticism.[3] [4]
Many people on the aromantic spectrum may also identify with other labels such as different sexual orientation or sexual identity, such as asexual, heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual or queer.
