But at the time I knew exactly what meant: I had a “gay voice” and was therefore cursed to live a life of mute daydreamg.

) But 99% of the time the magic would fa once I was st, revealg me to be a guy who uld ocsnally hi behd a ep voice, but who generally prented as “gay. As an effemate gay male I had already spent my entire life verg. And I uld no longer take the sult of watchg lleagu wh “tough guy” personas get st gay and/or effemate male rol.

For stance, a classmate om nservatory--who ed to tease me about my effemate mannerisms, BTW--was eventually st as a gay activist a big award-wng movie, based on a big award-wng play, about gay liv.

As stg director Brette Goldste told me 2008, the thg about the gay rol on televisn and film is that “You’ll often have straight men playg them.

And that’s what sucks for the gay guys. Though some gay actors are effectively creatg their own opportuni to play a variety of rol (gay, straight, mascule, feme, and everythg between), such as the makers of the entertag seri East Sirs. But even though I chose not to ntue swimmg upstream toward a full time actg reer, I also somehow knew not to dismiss myself for beg “too gay” or too genr nonnformg.

I put together a short documentary about how actors--pecially men, whether they are gay or straight--are nsired by stg directors to have failed the send they “sound gay” (meang their voice do not nform to heteronormative stereotyp of masculy). I tell you this bee sharg our journeys wh honty is an effective way to shatter stigmas--like the one known as “gay voice. And this is exactly what filmmaker David Thorpe has done his tly great documentary, Do I Sound Gay?

As Dan Savage says the film, "hatg our voic is the last vtige of ternalized homophobia. ” Thorpe asks everyone he knows--cludg queer celebri, like Savage, as well as iends, fay, and profsnal speech ach--where they thk “gay voice” om and how he n change his own. Thorpe provis myriad hypothis for where this hatred riv om and asks to qutn why any one of (gay or straight) reflexively police genr nonnformy one another’s voic.

We get a strong sense of how gay men--and all mori really--at tim emulate our opprsors by punishg each other for havg quali we spise ourselv. As long as there is an unchecked cultural phobia of “gay voic, ” --by which we really jt mean effemate male voic--we are all nmned to a PTSD-like state of hypervigilance, too aaid to blur the l of genr, our voic or any other area of our liv.

And the effable prsure to butch-up one's voice is not limed to effemate gay mal. Which brgs to the pot that our fear of soundg what we ll “gay” or “effemate” is not only about genr exprsn, but more signifintly about our cultural ias about weakns and power.
