'''Vincian''' is one of multiple terms used to describe [[gay]] men or men-aligned individuals, meaning a [[man]], [[Miaspec|man-aligned]] or [[Mingender|masculine-aligned]] individual who is attracted to men, man-aligned or masculine-aligned individuals. Multiple definitions also include [[Non-Binary|non-binary]] individuals who are not miaspec, such as individuals who experience [[neutral]] or even [[Fingender|feminine-aligned]] genders. It is one of the most widely recognized alternatives to the term "gay men" and is often used as the masculine equivalent of [[lesbian]] (referring to exclusive attraction). It is sometimes also used as a variant of [[achillean]] (referring to any MLM attraction, exclusive or not), due to miscommunication on the part of the coiner.
==Purpose==
The term "[[gay]]" is used as an adjective to describe homosexuality, and is also often used by the entire [[LGBTA WikiLGBT+|LGBT]] community in general. For this reason, various proposed terms for homosexual men were coined, including vincian. Some individuals also argue that "gay" should just mean homosexual men all together, due to the fact that gay women are referred to as lesbian. Other individuals simply refer to homosexual men as "gay men".
