User:CutseyGayBoy/Vincian

Definition
Vincian, alternatively called gay, is is a term for men, male aligned, and non-binary individuals who are exclusively attracted to men, male aligned, and non-binary individuals. Vincian is oftentimes used because gay can be used as an umbrella term for all LGBTQIA+ individuals.

History
The Term was coined in honor of Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian polymath of the Renaissance. He was thought to be involved in various homosexual relationships, although no one has proven it. He is most famous for his painting of Mona Lisa.

Vincian was coined by Tumblr user bivirgil in 2018 and has been commonly used on social media and in pride events ever since.

Flags
There are two versions of the flag, both extremely similar. The first version has seven stripes and was designed to mirror the pink lesbian flag. It was designed in 2017 by tumblr user Mod Hermy. Since the Pink Lesbian flag went mostly out of use, The newer version was designed and published in 2019, with slightly different shades of blue and green. It was posted by the Tumblr blog gayflagblog. It's important to note that bivirgil had designed their own version of the Vincian flag when coining the term, although this flag was hardly used.
