A second theme reflected in the everyday language and figures of speech of the homosexual collective is its absolute fixation on youth and its extensive lexicon connected to the seduction and molestation of young boys by adult male homosexuals. One example should suffice.

Under the heading chicken , defined by Rodgers as "ayoung recruit; any boy under the age of consent,” we find:

• chicken freak— elderly man with huge appetite for young roosters. 40

• chicken house— coffeehouse catering to young homosexuals too young for taverns. 41

• chicken plucker— man who enjoys "deflowering" young boys. 42

• chicken pox— urge to have sex with younger men, a mid 60's term. 43

• chicken dinner— sex with a teenager. 44

• butchered chicken — boy who recently lost his anal virginity. 45

• gay chicken — a homosexual teenager. 46

There are many other similar references I could cite, but videtur quod non/ 47

Some readers may object to my inclusion of this reference to pederasty in a book on adult male homosexuality and judge the commingling of these issues to be prejudicial at worse, or an unnecessary and unwarranted distraction at best. I disagree.

Adult homosexuality and pederasty are not mutually exclusive — either in terms of individual behaviors or the homosexual movement. 48
