While the term gay can apply to men, women, and [[non-binary]] |
While the term gay can apply to men, women, and [[non-binary]] individuals, it is sometimes used to only refer to gay men. The term [[lesbian]] tends to be used specifically for gay women. Less commonly, other terms such as [[vincian]] are used specifically for gay men. Gay has also been used as an umbrella term for anyone who is non-straight, or anyone in the [[LGBTA+]] community. |
