The term "hueco" literally translates as "empty, shallow, hollow, or superficial"<ref>[https://www.wordreference.com/es/en/translation.asp?spen=hueco English translation]</ref> among other terms that indicate a lack of substance. This comes from the homophobic stereotype that queer men are usually feminine, and the misogynistic belief that femininity indicates no intelligence or dept within a person. |
