#hyacique

veldian/turian is inclusive enough, I think. there's also floric, virsic/virsian, magnian, casian, cinthean, gayan, virescin, hyacean/hyacique, and uranian. see also some other terms

vincian was also coined as an alternate term to achillean (MLM) (see discussion). once a wiki used it excluding non-binary people, suggesting they could only use toric (NLM), andro- or viramoric.

if you feel more comfortable using vincian, go ahead. gender apathetic vincians are valid af. o/

If you're gay and femme? Your life has meaning and value. You aren't dragging the community down by existing. You aren't predatory just for existing.

If you're gay and femme and not white? It's not true that only a white boy would love you. That's bullshit, people saying that aren't the grand Poobah of the community.

If you're gay and butch? You're allowed to exist. The word butch was used for you by the community for generations.

If you're gay and disabled? It's okay if you don't go to pride or gay bars much due to accessibility issues or the noise involved being painful. It doesn't make you less gay. It means you need better spaces to interact with the community.

If you're gay and a teenager? It's okay if your understanding of your sexuality shifts over time. That doesn't make what you feel right now something to be dismissed. You deserve to have a community there for you.

If you're bisexual but you identify more as gay, due to being more attracted to dudes than women or just not engaging in separatism? You're welcome at my table, and I'll defend you against anyone who tries to act otherwise.

If you're technically gay but hate being called gay (preferring homosexual, fag, etc)? Welcome to the club, I don't like it either. It's a word that's got some problems.

If you're trans and gay? Your body isn't gross, and your body parts aren't "mismatched". You aren't desirable in spite of your physical reality and you don't exist only for chasers.

Is there anything you want me to post more of? Less of?

More DIYs? more buyable items? more inspiration photos of men and others living their best lives and presenting openly?

Would you like me to do another themed month or week like I did last Halloween?

Hyacique, count from the word Hyacinth and the suffix -ique, meaning made of or belonging to. This term refers to men who have relationships with men, or those adjacent to men.

Hyacinth is the name of a flower and of a minor Greek deity. He was a lover of Apollo from Sparta, and died in an accident. He was later resurrected and gained immortality. The root word was chosen for the flower.
