'''Achillean '''(also known as '''Men Loving Men''' ('''MLM'''), '''Apollian''' and ''' |
'''Achillean '''(also known as '''Men Loving Men''' ('''MLM'''), '''Apollian,''' '''Chaeronean,''' and '''Chaeronic''') 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]] ([[vincian]]) 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. |

The original achillean flag had the same two blue stripes on the top and bottom representing men as the current flag. In the center was a realistic green carnation, but this flag was too complicated for many, leading to the creation of the current flag. |
