queen



bean queen

1. gay slang A Hispanic or Mexican homosexual male. I like hanging out with fellow bean queens, because we can relate to each other through our culture and our sexual identification.
2. gay slang A non-Hispanic homosexual male who is primarily attracted to Hispanic men. Note: Discretion must be used with both instances of this term since it can be construed as being either a pejorative or in celebration of self-identification. I do tend to date mostly Hispanic men, so I suppose you could call me a bit of a bean queen.
