Being MLM means identifying as a man (or someone aligned with manhood) who is romantically and/or sexually attracted to other men. This includes gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer, and other men who love men, regardless of how they label themselves.
MLM is a broad and inclusive term that celebrates love, connection, and attraction between men in all its forms—whether masculine, feminine, or anything in between. It’s about being true to who you are and who you love.
-
Start with acceptance and kindness—treat them like you would anyone else. Use inclusive language, avoid making assumptions about their experiences or interests, and don’t ask invasive questions about their relationships or sexuality.
Respect their identity, whether they call themselves gay, bi, queer, or another term, and support them without judgement. Speak up against homophobia when you hear it, and let them know you see and value them for exactly who they are.
-
Support starts with affirmation and allyship. Use their chosen labels, celebrate their relationships, and be someone they can trust. Speak out against homophobia and harmful stereotypes—whether in jokes, media, or conversation.
Show up for them, listen without judgement, and let them define their identity on their own terms. Whether it’s wearing a Pride pin, learning more about LGBTQ+ issues, or simply being there when it matters, your support helps create a world where they can love openly and safely.

MLM (Men Loving Men) FAQs
-
Not exactly—MLM (men-loving-men) includes gay men, but it’s a broader, more inclusive term.
“Gay” usually refers to men who are exclusively attracted to other men. MLM, on the other hand, includes anyone who identifies with manhood and is attracted to men—this can include bisexual, pansexual, queer, trans, and non-binary people who feel connected to masculinity.
So while all gay men are MLM, not all MLM people are gay. MLM is a way to honour the diversity of men who love men, in all the ways that love can look.
-
Yes, non-cis men can absolutely be MLM (men-loving-men)—if that label feels right for them.
MLM includes anyone who identifies with manhood and is attracted to men, not just cisgender men. This can include trans men, non-binary people with a connection to masculinity, or anyone who feels their identity fits under the "men-loving-men" umbrella.
It’s about how someone experiences their own gender and who they’re attracted to, not about meeting a rigid standard. MLM is an inclusive and affirming term for the many diverse ways love and identity can exist.
-
MLM (men-loving-men) and MSM (men who have sex with men) may sound similar, but they mean very different things.
MLM is about identity. It refers to people who identify as men (including cis, trans, or non-binary with a connection to manhood) and feel romantic and/or sexual attraction to other men. It includes labels like gay, bi, queer, and pansexual.
MSM is a clinical or medical term used to describe behaviour—not identity. It refers to anyone assigned male at birth who has sex with men, regardless of how they identify (they might not identify as gay or bi at all).
In short:
👉 MLM = who someone is
👉 MSM = what someone doesMLM is inclusive and personal; MSM is mostly used in healthcare settings for research, sexual health, and outreach.
-
Yes, bisexual men are absolutely part of the MLM (men-loving-men) community.
MLM includes anyone who identifies with manhood and is attracted to men—regardless of whether they’re also attracted to other genders. Bisexual men may love women, non-binary people, or others, but their attraction to men makes them part of the MLM experience.
Their identity is just as valid, and they deserve the same visibility, support, and celebration as gay men.
-
You might feel drawn to men romantically, sexually, emotionally — or all three. Maybe those feelings are quiet or loud, fleeting or steady. What matters is that they’re yours, and they’re real. You don’t need to fit a label to explore what feels true.
Disclaimer:
This is a guide, not a test. Your feelings are valid whether they’re loud, small, or still unfolding.
