G0y, also spelled as gØy or g-zero-y (pronounced "goy" or "g-zero-y"; the second character is the digit
zero, not the letter o), is a subculture that appeared in the 2000s in the
United States and has since spread to
Brazil. The g0y self-identify as men who are attracted to men, but not as
homosexual or
bisexual.[2] In such relationships, men consider
hugging,
kissing on lips, caressing,
frotting,
French kissing,
handjobs and
fellatio as acceptable. They do not participate in
anal sex, seeing it as gay[3] or even violent and dangerous.[4]
The g0y movement is inspired by the practices of
Ancient Greece. Its adherents do not fight to be included in the
LGBT civil movements. According to this same philosophy, G0ys do not like to be compared to members of the LGBT civil movements, because they do not practice penetration with other men.[5]
