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.{{Cite journal |last=Wiik |first=Flavio Braune |date=November 2012 |title=Os G0ys: Religião, Sexualidade, Gênero e Identidades Homoeróticas na Contemporaneidade |trans-title=The G0ys: Contemporary Religion, Sexuality, Gender, and Homoerotic Identities|url=https://revista.psico.edu.uy/index.php/revpsicologia/article/viewFile/138/74- |journal=Psicología, Conocimiento y Sociedad |language=pt |volume=2 |issue=2 |pages=66–83}} In such relationships, men consider hugging, kissing on lips, caressing, anilingus, frotting, French kissing, handjobs and fellatio as acceptable.{{Cite web |last=Nascimento |first=Francisco Arrais |date=2021 |title=Nomear, classificar, existir: um estudo das práticas discursivas como contribuição para a organização do conhecimento produzido por comunidades LGBTQIAP+ |url=https://www.marilia.unesp.br/Home/Pos-Graduacao/CienciadaInformacao/Dissertacoes/nascimento_fa_dr_mar.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240624125714/https://repositorio.unesp.br/server/api/core/bitstreams/378be027-2308-4ffa-98e0-ed8994588be2/content |archive-date=June 24, 2024 |access-date=December 7, 2024 |website=repositorio.unesp.br}} They do not participate in anal sex, seeing it as gay{{Cite web |url=http://sites.correioweb.com.br/app/50,114/2014/10/06/noticia_saudeplena,150598/entenda-os-termos-goy-e-bromance.shtml |title=Entenda os termos 'goy' e 'bromance' |last=Samorano |first=Carolina |date=October 6, 2014 |website=Correio Braziliense |language=pt |trans-title=Understand the terms 'goy' and 'bromance' |access-date=May 12, 2018}} or even violent and dangerous,{{Cite news |url=https://www.queerty.com/lets-talk-g0ys-gay-men-opposed-anal-sex-theyve-created-little-club-20170830|title=Let's talk about 'g0ys,' gay men who are so opposed to anal sex that they've created a little club |last=Gremore |first=Graham |date=August 30, 2017 |work=Queerty |access-date=May 12, 2018}} some of which identify as side (USA) or gouine (Brazil).{{Cite web |date=May 12, 2014 |first=Yannik |last=D´Elboux |title=G0ys apreciam afeto e "pegação" entre homens, mas não aceitam rótulo gay |url=https://www.uol.com.br/universa/noticias/redacao/2014/05/12/g0ys-apreciam-afeto-e-pegacao-entre-homens-mas-nao-aceitam-rotulo-gay.htm?cpVersion=instant-article |access-date=December 7, 2024 |website=universa.uol.com.br |language=en}}{{Cite web |date=January 12, 2015 |title=Conheça os 'g0ys', homens que se relacionam entre si, mas dizem não ser gays |url=https://extra.globo.com/noticias/mundo/conheca-os-g0ys-homens-que-se-relacionam-entre-si-mas-dizem-nao-ser-gays-12218506.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221126054518/https://extra.globo.com/noticias/mundo/conheca-os-g0ys-homens-que-se-relacionam-entre-si-mas-dizem-nao-ser-gays-12218506.html |archive-date=November 26, 2022 |access-date=May 16, 2024 |website=Extra Online |language=pt-BR}}{{Cite journal |last1=Almeida |first1=Álvaro de |last2=Castro |first2=Pedro |last3=Razuck |first3=Fernando |last4=Mamede |first4=Walner |date=May 2017 |title=Gender and male identity of the new millennium: The homo affectivity and the social vision based on behavioral philosophy gØy (g-zero-y) |url=http://www.scielo.edu.uy/pdf/pcs/v7n1/1688-7026-pcs-7-01-00199.pdf |journal=Psicología, Conocimiento y Sociedad |language=en |volume=7 |issue=1 |pages=199–225 |doi=10.26864/v7n1.9 |issn=1688-7026}}
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.{{Cite web |title=Conheça os 'g0ys', homens que se relacionam entre si, mas dizem não ser gays |trans-title=Meet the 'g0ys', men who have relationships with each other, but say they are not gay |url=https://extra.globo.com/noticias/mundo/conheca-os-g0ys-homens-que-se-relacionam-entre-si-mas-dizem-nao-ser-gays-12218506.html |access-date=November 3, 2022 |website=Extra Online |date=January 12, 2015 |language=pt-BR}}{{Cite thesis |last=Vieira |first=Vanrochris Helbert |date=March 30, 2015 |title=Vivendo no front: discursos acionados por sujeitos na fronteira entre perspectivas LGBTs e evangélicas |url=https://repositorio.ufmg.br/handle/1843/53289 |publisher=Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais |degree=Pós-Graduação em Comunicação Social}}{{Cite thesis |last=Santos |first=Diego Couto dos |date=March 26, 2018 |title="Mas e você, tá a fim de que?!".
