'''Uranian''' is the term for a homosexual men, meaning a [[Man|men]], [[Vincian|men-aligned]] and/or masculine-aligned person who is attracted to men, men-aligned and/or masculine-aligned people. |

'''Uranian''' is a term originally used in the 19th and early 20th centuries referring primarily to [[gay]] men as well as "[[Feminine|effeminate]]" men and [[transfeminine]] people attracted to men. It was occasionally expanded to refer to gay people of any gender. In the 21st century, it has made a resurgence as a term for [[gay]] men and men-[[Gender Alignment|aligned]] people and is now one of multiple terms used to describe gay men such as [[vincian]] and [[turian]]. |
|||
This term appeared in the 19th century on behalf of the ancient goddess Aphrodite Urania, born of a man without the participation of a woman, who was called the patroness of inter-male love. |
|||
Currently, the term has been revived as a designation for homosexual men and is one of many terms, for homosexual men and men-aligned people and is now one of multiple terms used to describe homosexual men such as vincian and turian. |
|||
It is generally used as a masculine equivalent of [[lesbian]]. The term is also sometimes used by [[neutral]]-aligned, [[abinary]], or unaligned [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] people who are attracted to men, men-aligned people, masculine-aligned people, and other non-binary people who self-identify as uranians. |
