About

Queening Out is an LGBTQ+ slang phrase that is used to describe or mock gay men either throwing a tantrum, being overly excited, or displaying stereotypically gay behaviors. The phrase has long been used in LGBTQ+ circles in the United States, with memes about "queening out" seeing a resurgence in 2024.

Origin

The earliest known record of the phrase "queening out" is a March 28th, 2008 post on the Wordpress[1] blog "Word Of The Gay," where "queening out" is described as "a gay male tantrum," or the act of "an individual exhibiting stereotypical gay tendencies."

"Queening out" is a popular phrase in the gay community that describes one of two things: 1. a gay male tantrum, or fit of rage 2. an individual exhibiting stereotypical gay tendencies; usually manifest in the form of speech patterns, mimicry of pop culture icons or outlandish dance & movement The phrase is related to "queen" being a term used to describe an effeminate gay man. "Queening out" is not only used to describe men, but can be used for women, as seen in one of these two videos scenes from YouTube.com: Some Kid Queening Out & Child Abuser Queening Out Ex: "Oh Gurl, you should have seen her, she was queening out on the dance floor big-time!" [Related catch-phrases: "Slow Your Roll," "Don't have a cow, man" "Take it Easy," and the less- accepted "F------ Out"]
