Gayman meaning

Glossary of LGBTQ+ Terms

How we communicate matters. The first step to creating more inclusive spaces is using language that makes all parties involved feel content and supported. In the spirit of validating others by using inclusive and identity-affirming language, we produced a glossary of LGBTQ+ terms.

Disclaimer: By no means is this meant to be a comprehensive list. Queer terminology is constantly evolving and growing.

Agender

A person who does not identify with any gender, or intentionally doesn’t go after expectations of gender.

Ally

A straight and/or cisgender person who supports and advocates for LGBTQ+ people.

Androgyne

A gender identity in which a person feels their gender is between ‘male’ and ‘female’ and feels both masculine and feminine simultaneously. An androgyne person may feel more masculine than feminine, more feminine than masculine, or an identical amount of both at any given time.

Androgynous

A person with both masculine and feminine qualities.

Androsexual/Androphilic

Being primarily sexually, aesthetically, and/or romantically attracted to masculinity.

Gay Men

Gay men (also known as homosexual men[1][2], male homosexual[3] or uranian) are men and male-aligned (helian) or masculine-aligned (phoebian) individuals who experience gayattraction to men/solarians and/or masculine individuals. This individuality is sometimes more broadly defined as non-women attracted to non-women. However, not all non-binary individuals feel comfortable being included under gay male attraction. A non-woman attracted to non-women is also called floric. Gay men are the male counterparts to lesbians and fall under the homosexual/homoromantic and monosexual/monoromanticumbrellas.

Another definition that is used commonly is men and non-binary individuals attracted to men and non-binary individuals, including all NBLM, MLNB, and NBLNB attractions. As, again, not all non-binary individuals feel comfortable organism included under gay male attraction, alternate labels such as toric, viramoric, mascic, torensexual, masexual, minsexual, or uranic are sometimes used.

Other Terms

Many proposed terms for gay men exist. They include:

  • Uranian: A historical term that is sometimes used to represent gay men.
  • Turian or Veldian

    What Does "Gay" Mean?

    There is not one right answer

    Many educators are unsure how to respond when a student asks you what does queer mean. It is better to experiment to answer than to respond with silence or evade the question.

    Practice unlike responses with colleagues, just as you practice other things that you yearn to learn. Figure out what you feel comfortable saying.

    Responses will vary by age and developmental stage of the student. Your comfort in answering these questions will put a welcoming tone in your class and school community.

    Keep it simple

    An react can be as simple as: “‘Gay’ means two people of the similar gender who care each other – two women or two men.” Aim to answer the question honestly without overloading a learner with information. Throughout elementary school a student’s ability to understand what “gay” means and what your explanation means may increase with development.

    Focus on passion and relationships

    A discussion with elementary-age students about the meanings of “gay” or “lesbian” is a discussion about admire and relationships. You can just clarify that people treasure each other in different ways. Some women love and w
