The word ''cola'' appears to have become popular in the 50s, as a code word for homosexuals and trans women used by the police. It derives from the inversion of the word "''loca''" meaning "crazy woman".<ref>[https://www.moscasdecolores.com/en/gay-dictionary/spanish/cola/ History]</ref>
In the case of ''coligüe'' (pronounced coh-lee-weh) the word comes from the indigenous Mapudungun language, meaning a type of thin reed. It is also synonymous with fragile, skinny, wimpy or weak, so it's possible that there was a semantic leap from the negative stereotypes of some gay men to a description of all queer men.
