How it's used

Originating from the film Brokeback Mountain, this term is used exclusively to describe romantic relationships between men. It carries a slightly informal or gossipy tone, so it is best avoided in formal or professional settings. Using it to describe lesbian relationships is incorrect, as it is specifically gendered toward men.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using this term to describe gay women, as it is strictly associated with male homosexuality. Additionally, because it can sound flippant or reductive, it is safer to use more neutral terms like 同性戀 when speaking in serious contexts.
