'''Vincian'''
The term "[[gay]]" is used as an adjective to describe homosexuality, and is also often used by the entire [[LGBTA Wiki|LGBT]] community in general. For this reason, various proposed terms for homosexual men were coined, including vincian. Some individuals also argue that "gay" should just mean homosexual men all together, due to the fact that homosexual women are referred to as lesbian. Other people simply refer to homosexual men as "gay men".
Line 15:
*Wildean was coined in honor of Oscar Wilde, an important figure in LGBT history. (This is also used as a variant of Achillean.) Wildean is also used as an adjective to describe things connected to Oscar Wilde.
*[[Floric]] is a term used for non-woman attracted to non-women, it includes and is ''sometimes'' used as a synonym for “gay men”. It is named after Florence, the birthplace of Leonardo Da Vinci, who is the namesake of vincian.
*Cinthean is pulled the term from the Greek myth of Hyacinthius and Apollo.

Line 34 ⟶ 35:
The purple and indigo represent "diversity in presentation, relationships, and life experience." The blue-to-purple gradient on the bottom of half the flag symbolizes ''"how some [Vincians] might be stereotypical, some...might not be, and some... are in-between or fluid. Regardless, we should all be celebrated and respected."''
The Cinthean flag, coined by monstericfag on Twitter (whos account is now disabled), has six horizontal stripes: navy representing depth, purple representing beauty, fuscia representing passion, pink representing pure love, peach representing joy, and white representing trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people.
Vincian flags are often labeled as "gay man" or "gay men" flags or even as just "mlm" flags, but should not be confused with [[achillean]] flags.<gallery>
