pridewiki:Turian and lavenian Turian, also known as veldian, is a term for gay men and nonbinary people. It is for all men who identify as gay, as well as all nonbinary people who identify as gay/nlm. The word “Turian” stems from computer-scientist Alan Turing. Veldian is an alternative term for those who prefer not to use labels that include people’s names, and stems from velds, southern African grassy plains with flowers and a lot of sunlight. (The sun is often connected to masculinity, and a lot of the flowers have meanings that stem from love and/or passion) Lavenian is a turian who is gender non-conforming. The word originates from “lavender”, a flower that is historically attributed to both GNC and vincian/mlm men. It is similar to the term lavender boy, but is specifically for those who identify as gay. Not all gnc turians need to use lavenian if they do not want to. Both of these terms are all inclusive and anybody who feels they fit may use them. [Stripe meanings under the cut] Keep reading -- source link
