gay boy

Male-attracted young male

A gay boy is a male, usually young, who is homosexual.

The phrase can be affectionate or neutral when used within gay communities: He's been out as a gay boy since high school.

Used by outsiders, it often carries condescension or mockery, reducing a man's sexuality to something juvenile or diminutive.
