'''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 gay.
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.

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.
