Turian (also known as Veldian), is a term to describe gay men and gay (nblm) non-binary people. It is similar to both vincian and achillean, and is a mlm/nblm equivalent to lesbian. Subsets of this term include lavenian.
Etymology
Turian: Comes from Alan Turing, an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist known for breaking the enigma code. Despite these accomplishments, for much of history he was not full recognized due to homophobia and was prosecuted not long after the war ended. Despite this, his accomplishments still affect our world today, and things such as the turing test and Alan Turing laws are based off of him.
Etymology of other terms
Veldian comes from the word veld, a large area of grassland from southern Africa. Populated with flowers and gets high amounts of sunlight. Flowers, namely carnations, as well as the sun, are often associated with masculinity and/or homosexuality. This is primarily a term for those who do not want to use a label that involves someone's name, but can be used interchangeably with turian as well.
