'''Vincian''', also called '''Patroclian''' and '''Wildean''', is one of multiple terms used to describe [[gay]] men or men-aligned people (men/man-aligned people who are exclusively attracted to other men/man-aligned people). The term is meant to be a masculine equivalent of [[lesbian]]. It is also sometimes used as a variant of [[achillean]].

*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.

''I am aware that a white middle stripe may make people think it’s too similar to other flags but at this point in time, where the battle for what should be basic human rights for trans people is ongoing, even in LGBT spaces, it’s more important than ever to remember the crucial roles our trans and GNC family have played in building our history and to honor them''."
