'''Turian''' (also known as '''Veldian''') is a term to describe [[gay men]], along with any [[gay]] [[non-binary]] individual who wish to be included under the label. It is a fully inclusive label that any gay [[man]], or gay nonbinary individual, can use.<ref>{{Archive|URL=https://veldian.carrd.co/}}</ref> Some may describe turian as "[[queer]] [[attraction]] to men", similarly to how [[lesbian]] is defined, but there are many ways to describe its attraction. Subsets of this term include [[lavenian]].
The [[Sapphic|WLW]] and [[Trixic|NBLW]] equivalent to turian is [[lesbian]]. Similarly to lesbian, while turian often refers to exclusive attraction, it does not necessarily have to be. Some may identify as [[Bisexual Gay|m-spec turian]], or [[solian]]. Or specify exclusivity, using [[violaen]].
