Gay men are male homosexuals. For a time, the term gay was used as a synonym for anything related to homosexual men. By the end of the 20th century, however, the word gay was recommended by LGBT groups and style guides to describe all people exclusively attracted to members of the same sex, while lesbian referred specifically to female homosexuals, and gay men referred exclusively to male homosexuals.
