Aro/Ace Queerness Survey: Results

The Aro/Ace Queerness Survey is no longer taking responses! I just wanted to get some statistical data on opinions in the A community about to what extent aromantics and asexuals belong in the LGBT+ community - without allos speaking over us.

Here are the results (warning: some numbers are off because people skipped questions or chose multiple answers).

Romantic orientation:

• 52% of respondents are aromantic
• 27% are grayromantic
• 7% are demiromantic
• 3% are akoiromantic
• 2% are cupioromantic (I honestly don't approve of the 'cupioromantic' label because I think it feeds into amatonormativity, but if you want to identify as that I can't stop you either.)
• 14% are quoiromantic
• 2% are aroflux
• 1% is questioning
• 2% identify on the aromantic spectrum but not with any specific aro label
• 1% is alterous
• 2% are confused about aromantic spectrum terminology and unsure how to answer this question
• 10% are alloromantic

Sexual orientation:

• 65% are asexual
• 11% are graysexual
• 4% are demisexual
• 1% is akoisexual
• 2% are aceflux
• 3% are quoisexual
• 1% is autochorissexual
• 22% are allosexual

Same-gender attraction

• 22% are attracted to their same gender sexually
• 28% are attracted to their same gender romantically
• 50% do not feel same-gender attraction

Gender:

• 56% are cisgender
• 44% are transgender or nonbinary

There were no intersex participants.

• 7% are LGBQ aces who have experienced acephobia
• 12% are LGBQ aces who have not experienced acephobia
