''' |
'''Vincian '''is a proposed identity to be used by homosexual men (men who feel attraction to other men). Due to the fact that "[[gay]]" has become a term for the entire LGBT community, there wasn't a term specifically for homosexual men. For this reason, this proposed term was coined for homosexual men who wanted their own identity. The gay female counterpart is [[lesbian]]. |
