Please gay men would recognise its a thing amongst a decent population of gay men. Its not a bad thing. I'd even love a gay man's thoughts on it. | |||

"Ok when you all realise that the gay community will not be offended my me saying that there is a gay twang amongst some of the gay community (which everyone is aware of) we can have theories on this. There was no blanket cover saying all gay men sound the same and a guy I know pretty well (straight guy) sounds similar to the twang that would be common enough in the gay community. I think it's interesting. I'd like to know how it developed even." So it's just gay MEN. What do gay women have.... | |||

"I'm sorry but "such an accurate indicator of a man sexuality"? That's so ignorant it's laughable. Just thinking off the top of my head of all the people I know that have a lisp, none are gay. The gay people I know, actually none have a lisp. Better tell them they need to review their sexuality. Gonna be a lot of angry partners/wives/boyfriends/kids but it is scientifically proven so they should have known I guess. "OK you're trying your best to look good and be outraged but you're failing. I clearly said it's not a lisp but people say it well back in the thread. Yes the thread is titled that but it's not a lisp. People wrongly call it a lisp. I decided to title my thread that way though. Type gay male speech into Google and read through it and you'll see researchers have said its not a lisp but obviously there's a significant amount of people that it that. I person say gay accent or twang. I know straight men that would sound similar however but to say gay accent is hardly offensive. It's a known thing. Calm down. | |||

"Are you talking about the over the top flamboyant gays . There lot gay lads who don't speak that way and you never think they were gay till ye found out lol "My only gay friend and in a real friend came out to me after school and he didn't have the twang. Was a big surprise he was gay but not because he spoke obviously but because the whole group constantly spoke about girls and the female teachers etc... Obviously the way you speak doesn't determine your sexuality but alot of gays do have a similar accent. Not most... Alot. | |||

"How did this come about? What causes it? And how come it's such an accurate indicator of a man sexuality? You know the stereotypical gay accent/voice/way of speaking. Although I know one straight guy with a similar style of speech and I know a fuck load of gays that don't have it but alot do. " very interesting question | |||

Just as there are surely physiological reasons for a straight man sounding the same. You have formed a generalised opinion and fine looking for scientific reasons (you said studies have been done) to justify your opinion based on one information point.

" Apologies I didn’t word my initial responses clearly enough and I didn’t clarify enough. Speech is a learnt behaviour, not an immutable physical trait. Any one of us growing up in a different environment would have different ways of speaking, some change as they grow, depending on their environment. Therefore speech as a way to identify someone’s sexuality is not reliable. It may indicate that they interact with a lot of other gay men or spend time around farmers but it is a consequence of environment in my opinion. I am just giving my experiences as a gay man who doesn’t speak with ‘gay male speech’. I may be very wrong and am open to be corrected. I try to keep an open mind, | |||
