Queerplatonic relationship

Rare card · No. 58901

A queerplatonic relationship (QPR), also known as queerplatonic partnership (QPP), is a committed intimate relationship between significant others whose relationship is not romantic in nature. A queerplatonic relationship differs from a close friendship by having a similar explicit commitment, status, and structure as a formal romantic relationship, and it differs from a romantic relationship by not involving feelings of romantic love. The concept originates in aromantic and asexual spaces in the LGBTQ community. Like romantic relationships, queerplatonic relationships are sometimes said to involve a deeper and more profound emotional connection than typical friendship. While this relationship structure is not dependent on romantic or sexual attraction, queerplatonic partners may still engage in behaviors which would otherwise typically be reserved for romantic partners.
