G0y

G0y, gØy, 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, mutual masturbation and fellatio as acceptable. They do not participate in anal sex, seeing it as gay[3] or even violent and dangerous.[4]

Not to be confused with goy.

The term g0y comes from the Hebrew goy, with the o replaced by a 0 to represent "departure from stereotype".[4]
