Chicken Queen

Chicken queen is older gay slang for an older gay man who is particularly attracted to young men, the "chickens" in the same slang family. It overlaps closely with chickenhawk, and both terms come from mid-20th-century gay male culture. Like the word chicken itself, it is now largely dated and comes with baggage: because chicken sometimes implied someone very young or even underage, contemporary usage treats the term with caution, and discussions of age-gap attraction focus on adulthood and consent. You are most likely to encounter chicken queen in older writing or from an earlier generation rather than in current everyday speech.
