'''Gay men''' (also known as '''homosexual men'''<ref> https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/gay%20man</ref><ref>[[wiktionary:gay man]]</ref>, '''male homosexual'''<ref>[[wikipedia:Gay men]]</ref> or '''[[uranian]]''') are [[men]] and [[miaspec|male-aligned]] ([[helian]]) or [[mingender|masculine-aligned]] ([[phoebian]]) individuals who experience [[gay]] [[attraction]] to [[men]]/[[solarian]]s and/or [[masculine]] individuals. This identity is sometimes more broadly defined as [[Nongender|non]]-[[women]] attracted to non-women. However, not all [[non-binary]] individuals feel comfortable being included under gay male attraction. A non-woman attracted to non-women is also called [[floric]]. Gay men are the male counterparts to [[lesbian]]s and fall under the [[homosexual]]/[[homoromantic]] and [[monosexual]]/[[monoromantic]] [[umbrella]]s.
Another definition that is used commonly is men and non-binary individuals attracted to men and non-binary individuals, including all [[Toric|NBLM]], [[Astroidian|MLNB]], and [[Enbian|NBLNB]] attractions. As, again, not all non-binary individuals feel comfortable being included under gay male attraction, alternate labels such as [[toric]], [[viramoric]], [[mascic]], [[torensexual]], [[masexual]], [[minsexual]], or [[uranic]] are sometimes used.

=== Aromantic Gay Men ===
'''Aromantic gay men''' are gay men who are on the aromantic spectrum. Some aromantic gay men are gay men through another form of attraction, most commonly sexual. If one does not experience any romantic attraction, then they may be a gay man through another orientation, but if they experience little or circumstantial romantic attraction, then they may experience the aforementioned or they may simply have attraction to men that is aro-spec (for example - having [[caligoromantic]] or [[amicusromantic]] attraction to men).
