Can we please have a non-biased definition?
A member of the Orange Order. A men's society centred around protestantism and the union of Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. Also remembers the Battle of the Boyne in 1690, where William of Orange (hence the name) defeated James II. Has been critcized with having anti-Catholic beliefs.
There has also been great contreversy over marching rights. The Order claims that they can march on their traditional marching routes, though certain Catholic-dominated streets have complained due to the Order's (alledged) history of Catholic-Baiting.
Orangemen during their parades are known to wear old Victorian style suits with bowler hats and orange sashes.

An orangeman is dedicated to the defence of the protestant religion and people, and to the maintenance of the protestant succession to the british u.k. crown.
orange lodge members believe simply that christianity is based on the holy bible, nothing more and nothing less.
membership of the orange order is open to all protestants both male and female.

The bible has no popes, priests, mary worship, wafer worship transubstantiation/masses, holy water, rosary beads, candles, purgatory etc. etc.
an orangeman rejects these practices because they are not warranted by holy scripture.

The people with orange skin. Originally populating north Ireland. Due to Jesus dropping his girl's daughter off there. The Irish later sold most of the oranges to the Vikings. About the same time, the lovely Irish kicked the Scots off the island :)
Orangeman have the skin color of orange. Its quite beautiful skin and rather unique. The dutch love orange. Gee I wonder why? Maybe its cause the oranges and vikings settled together there.

An Orangeman is a man of the Protestant religion. He does not beat his wife or kids, but stands up against the dirty fenians that decided to be wankers and think that they shud be rite. Often wear an Orange sash, hench Orangeman.
#Sure I'm an Ulster Orangeman, from Erin's isle I came,
To see my British brethren all of honour and of fame,
And to tell them of my forefathers who fought in days of yore,
That I might have the right to wear, the sash my father wore!# The Sash Song, sang on July 12th.

Orangemen are decent Christian Protestants who originate from Ulster; now there are lodges across the world varying in ethnicity. The Grand Orange Lodge is split into smaller lodges in local areas for men of the surrounding village, town, or city to join. Each lodge has a designated band in which they walk behind in support of. The lodge host many colourful parades to commemorate those lost in battles and wars fighting for their faith and country, for example, one of the most well know days of celebration is the 12th of July when there are parades across the whole province in support of those men who fought against James for the religious freedom of the country; without them James wanted the whole of England and Ireland to be Catholic but thanks to the men who fought during the Batttle of the Boyne people had a choice. Another event they remember is the Battle of the Somme, which was a battle during the First World War where a significant amount of soldiers who were Ulster - Protestants died fighting for King and country; this was a truly tragic event for everyone in Britain, and both the North and South of Ireland. During big parades, the Orangemen organise a charity to collect for such as the Hospice or children's cancer research which is a big help to these charities.
Orangemen are often portrayed by the media to be something they are not, they are portrayed to be bigoted and disrupting peace when in fact they are the complete opposite.

"My dad is an Orangeman." said the young school boy excitedly, "he is arranging a fun day for the local charity and I am allowed to help, it is going to be so fun."
