Achillean

An umbrella term for men and non-binary people who are attracted to men. "Achillean" comes from Achilles, the Greek hero whose love for Patroclus is one of the most famous male-male relationships in literature.

Achillean includes gay men, bisexual men, pansexual men, and non-binary people who feel a connection to masculinity or manhood and love men. It parallels "sapphic" as an inclusive alternative to narrower labels.

The term is relatively new in mainstream usage but has been adopted especially by younger queer people and non-binary folks who find "gay" or "bi" too confining, or who want a term that centers attraction to men without specifying the attender's exact gender.
