QUEENY LABELS

Dear Arthur,

I've heard expressions used that I am not understanding. An example was 'rice queen' and another, 'spud queen' What do these mean?

Hi Gareth,

It's the nature of our media dominated world that everything seems to get a tag or a label these days. Basically, these expressions are a verbal shorthand to desciribe a variety of sub-groups in our community. Specifically, a 'rice queen' refers to a gay man who is keen on asian boys while 'spud queen' or 'potato queen' is a guy (often asian) who has a fondness for men of Irish origin ie. with big heads. Here's a quick run down of some of the most commonly used:

Hummus Queen: Likes arabic/middle eastern guys, also Greek


Snow/Dairy Queen: Black/Hispanic male preferring white guys


Bean Queen: Likes Hispanic guys


Chocolate Queen: Likes black guys

Sticky Rice: Asian guys liking asian guys
