Laverian, formerly known as asterian, is a term used to describe men, man-aligned or masculine-aligned people who are attracted to men, man-aligned or masculine-aligned people. The term was created as alternative to achillean regarding discourse around its namesake. This term can be used to describe both homosexual/gay and multisexual/m-spec individuals.
It's name and colour scheme are derived from the lavender flower, a historically symbolic flower to MLM and GNC individuals.
History
Not much is known about the creator or the origins of the term, as the first post to ever mention it was deleted. One of the only other mentions of it was found on a post calling it the asterian flag.[1] However the term asterian was already taken and so the name was changed.
Flag
The flag was created by Twitter user @megmasterz.
The flag colour meanings are as follows:
Dark pastel blue: pan/bi/ace identifying people
Pastel blue: attraction to men
White: attraction to masc-aligned people
Lavender: sexuality + love
Purple: panpronomial masc-aligned people
