Line 1:
'''Patroclian '''is a proposed identity to be used by homosexual men (men who feel attraction to other men). The term was coined by an anonymous person on Tumblr. 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, a proposed term was coined for homosexual men who wanted their own identity. The gay female counterpart is [[lesbian]].
==Etymology==
The term patroclian comes from the Greek name Patroclus, who was thought to be Achilles lover. Achilles is also the origin of the term [[achillean]].[[File:Patroclianprideflag.png|thumb|Patroclian Pride Flag]]
