Twink is a subcultural term used by gay men, referring to a subset of men who defy traditional masculinity, embracing traits that are generally seen as gendered and feminine. Twinks may be defined by physical appearance, tastes, expression of traditionally gendered traits, or personal affiliation.
The generic image of a twink is a thin man lacking facial hair and often body hair as well, who may or may not dress in ways that are not typically considered masculine. The twink aesthetic can usually be considered cleanly composed and non-compliant with the expectations generally held of men, and aligns relatively closely to city fashion trends. Twinks tend to be the origin of several gay stereotypes, particularly the effeminate ones.
The twink label did not originate as part of a sub-culture, but is instead a descriptive term for gay men who break with traditional gender norms and embody a particular subset of presentation.
 
The Twink Pride Flag is made up of three equally wide stripes, with pale pink at the top and pale yellow at the bottom. The central white stripe bears an interlocking pair of Mars symbols, often used as a symbol of homosexual men. These colours were chosen for their "soft" appearance, with the pink embracing femininity and the yellow branching away from.
