MLM (Men Loving Men)

"Men Loving Men" — an acronym for men who are attracted to men, regardless of how they specifically identify. MLM includes gay men, bisexual men, pansexual men, and queer men.

MLM is used as an inclusive, identity-neutral way to describe men's same-gender attraction. It appears commonly in online spaces, media recommendations, and community discussions.

Note that MLM also commonly stands for "multi-level marketing" (pyramid schemes) — context always determines meaning. Within LGBTQ+ spaces, MLM almost always refers to Men Loving Men. It parallels WLW (Women Loving Women).
