Aromantic has been added to the dictionary! All three words added! We did it!

I have exciting news!

Merriam Webster has added aromantic to the dictionary! That means all three words we were asking them to add have been added!

Aromantic: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aromantic
Agender: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agender
Asexual as an orientation: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/asexual

We did it!

Not only have they added asexual as an orientation, agender, and aromantic to the dictionary but they have been adding other queer identities too. I can't be certain our petition impacted their decision to add other identities but I am hopeful that we got them working more actively to include more folks.

Given that the petition's conditions have been met I will be closing it to signatures at the end of the week. I'm going to wait a couple days because I am not sure if people will get this notification if the petition is not active.

Thank you so much for signing, sharing, and talking about this petition. This would not have happened without you!
