-'''Gay''' refers to the attraction towards or desire for the same gender (or similar genders to one's own). Terms such as homosexual and homoromantic can be considered synonyms or subcategories of the gay umbrella.
-While gay applies to men, women, and [[non-binary]] people, it is sometimes used to only refer to gay men. The term [[lesbian]] tends to be used specifically for gay women and, less commonly, [[vincian|other terms]] are usually used specifically for gay men. Gay has also been used as an umbrella term for anyone in the [[LGBTA+]] community.
-==Early History==
-The earliest documentation of same-sex relations in the western world is that from ancient Greece. Relations between adult men and adolescent boys were valued as a form of population control.
-Ancient Rome took many of its ideas on sexuality from ancient Greece. Many Roman men partook in bisexual behavior. All emperors, with the exception of Claudius, had male lovers until the Christian emperor, Theodosius I decreed a law condemning gay men to be burned at the stake, in 390.
 During the Renaissance cities such as Florence and Venice were known for the widespread practice of same-sex relations. However, the authorities were prosecuting, fining, and imprisoning much of the gay population.
