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. Homosexual terminology is constantly evolving and growing.

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 persona 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 existence 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 signify 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 seek to answer than to respond with silence or evade the question.
Practice diverse responses with colleagues, just as you practice other things that you desire 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 place a welcoming tone in your class and school community.
Keep it simple
An reply can be as simple as: “‘Gay’ means two people of the alike gender who admire each other – two women or two men.” Experiment to answer the question honestly without overloading a scholar 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 treasure and relationships
A discussion with elementary-age students about the meanings of “gay” or “lesbian” is a discussion about devote and relationships. You can just clarify that people devote each other in different ways. Some women love and w
