'''Achillean |
'''Achillean '''refers to a man, or masculine-aligned person who is attracted to other men or men-aligned people. This attraction doesn't have to be exclusive, as the label is used in a way to unify all men who love other men such as [[gay]] men, [[bisexual]] men, [[pansexual]] men, etc, promoting solidarity among men of all identities. Since achillean is an umbrella term, it is typically not used as an identity on it's own, however it can be if desired. |
