Line 4:
A '''it/its gay man '''refers to a gay man who uses it/its [[pronouns]] but is still a man or masculine-aligned. The term can be used by any men who are mlm ([[achillean]]) and use it/its pronouns. Those pronouns can be exclusive or one can be [[Multipronouns|multipronoun]]. It is a more specific form of [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun non-conformity]] and [[crosspronoun]] usage. It is not an uncommon experience for gay men to feel disconnected from their manhood due to masculinity often being defined by relationships to women. Similarly to how [[Lesbian|lesbians]] might go by masculine names or present as a [[butch]], or otherwise [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conforming]], a gay man may use it/its pronouns to express this disconnect from its gender.
There also exists [[Neopronoun Gay|neopronoun gays]], [[Neopronoun Lesbian|neopronoun lesbians]], [[He/Him Lesbian|he/him lesbians]], [[She/Her Gay|she/her gays]], [[They/Them Lesbian|they/them lesbians]], [[It/Its Lesbian|it/its lesbians]], and [[They/Them Gay|they/them gay]] people.
== It/Its Gay Men vs Non-binary people ==
An it/its gay person may or may not identify as non-binary. It may acknowledge it's male, but pronouns do not equal identity, as an it/its gay man is simply a more specific form of pronoun non-conforming [[Vincian|vincians]].
