'''Vincian''' |
'''Vincian''' and '''Cinthean''' (also called '''Patroclian''' and '''Wildean''',) is one of multiple terms used to describe [[gay]] men or men-aligned people. It is unclear what the exact meaning of the term was intended to be. Some people treat it as a variant of achillean (referring to any MLM attraction, exclusive or not). Some people use it as the masculine equivalent of [[lesbian]] (referring to exclusive attraction). |

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". |

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."'' |

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> |
