Gay Men are men and male-aligned or masculine-aligned individuals who experience gay attraction to men and/or masculine individuals.

This identity 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.

 

On July 10, 2019, the Tumblr Blog gayflagblog proposed a Gay Mens' Pride Flag, adding symbolic and historical meanings to each colour and stripe as well as allowing those in the community to offer input and propose their own changes. The top three stripes represent community, healing, and joy. The bottom three stripes represent pure love, fortitude, and diversity. The white middle stripe is taken from the trans flag and represents all trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming gay men. The green and teal in the flag represent nature, as love between men is often seen as “unnatural” in the eyes of society and in religion. Furthermore, gay men have historically used green flowers and plants (carnations, hyacinths, etc.) The blue-to-purple gradient on the bottom of half the flag symbolizes how some gay men might be stereotypical, some might not be, and some are in-between or fluid.
