Opalian refers to someone who is mlm, mlnb, nblm, and nblnb, meaning someone who is non-binary and a man who is attracted to men and non-binary individuals. Being "non-binary and a man" includes
- Individuals who are genderfluid, and are sometimes non-binary and sometimes men.
- Bigender or multigender individuals who are men or man-aligned and non-binary at the same time.
- Masculine-aligned non-binary individual who feels connected to manhood as well as being non-binary.
An opalian individual is attracted to non-binary individuals and men and/or prioritizes their attraction to non-binary individuals and men over other attractions they may have. Opalian is an umbrella term, like diamoric, though it can also be used as an identity by itself.[1]
The primlunic equivalent is iridian.
History
Opalian was coined by Tumblr user nlmgalaxy on April 14, 2018[2], inspired by the term iridian. A poll was put up to decide the opalian flag. The poll concluded and the final flag was posted on April 27, 2018[3]. The color meanings of the flag are as follows[4]:
- Blue/lavender represents attraction to men, as the color lavender has long been an LGBTQ+ symbol, and blue is associated with masculinity in western society.
- Green represents multifaceted identity as being opalian encompasses a non-binary identity and a male/masculine identity. Yellow represents non-binary identity on many flags, and blue is traditionally masculine, so they’re blended together to make green.
- White represents expansiveness as there are many different identities that could exist alongside opalian, such as bigender, multigender, demiboy, polysexual, bisexual, etc.
- Yellow represents attraction to non-binary individuals. Yellow is typically used to represent non-binary individuals as a color that’s equally spaced from pink and blue and independent of binary associations.
- Orange represents love and warmth. A general celebration of opalian love.
