IS THERE A REASON WHY A LOT OF GAY MEN SPEAK WH A LISP?

The prent study examed the popular stereotype that gay men lisp by evaluatg to what extent listeners associated ntal or ontal articulatn/lispg wh gayns. Based on the ratgs of the listeners of the prent study, lispg speakers were signifintly more often judged to be homosexual. This was te for the group as a whole as well as for the subgroup of homosexual and heterosexual men separately.

WHY DO GAY GUYS SPEAK WH A LISP??

idk why but the high pched voice and slight lisp (i dont thk lisp is the right word, there's jt somethg that stands out about the S but isnt a full TH noise like a lisp) is very stereotypil of gay guys, but only a uple of the gay guys i know irl actually speak like this.

It jt always seemed to me to be a flamboyant thg that immediately poted people out as gay and seems to be much more mon gay celebri famo for beg gay than actual real life people. When media began to place more and more gay men to the spotlight they went wh stereotyped gay men ( you rarely see a gay man the media who isn't Obvly gay) and so the ial for a gay man to anyone growg up on this media was the flamboyant type wh that lisp.

As a rult orr to "F " as the OP said a lot of gay men are jt playg out the stereotype. I've been out for over twenty years and known hundreds if not thoands of gay men and I actually n't thk of any who spoke wh a lisp.

OF LISPS AND LGUISTICS: THE POWER OF THE GAY VOICE

I jt asked my partner if he knows any gay men who speak wh a lisp and he also said no. There are fely certa nc that many gay men fall to when speakg wh each other but a lisp?

THE GAY LISP?

There are a large amount of gay men I've met that f the stereotype their speakg, but I've never thought "lisp" was the right word. And of urse this isn't all gay men, but this is one stereotype that om somewhere. I've met many gay men, and I n actually only thk of one who didn't have "the voice".

I have, however, met one boy who was a Sophomore high school who intified as straight who had "the voice" as well. Though I thk this uld be the se for some (as they take on "the voice" orr to be noticed and regnized by other gay guys) I have a iend I ma this year who is gay and has the voice, and jt spis gay stereotyp.

THE PREVALENCE OF LISPG GAY MEN

He hat drag, he hat gay guys who are overly "mpy" and is jt repulsed by all of , he says do nothg for him sexually and he also feels giv the rt of the gay muny a bad name.

I fd tertg that there's no clear answer about the "gay lisp" (and y, I know isn't a te lisp, but that is what has e to be lled). 2) Other gay guys jt have a naturally more feme-soundg voice.

GAYDAR—SENDG MIXED SIGNALS

I thk there is some tth to this, but certaly don't apply to all or even most gay men. It's no secret that many gay men were effemate as kids, playg wh girls' toys, havg a lot of female iends. There is SOME legimacy to the nnectn between gay men and effemacy.

I've jt been cur about this bee seems like a lot of gay men really emphasize the "s" sound.

I jt me across this vio and this guy monstrat the "gay voice". Firstly, YES there are some gay men who talk wh a lisp, or as is probably more accurate to say, wh a certa "accent". My theory is that this probably has somethg to do wh homophobia, or rather how some gay men al wh homophobia.

GAY LISP

I pos that some gay male kids are eher outright rejected by other boys, or choose to distance themselv om boys out of fear of nsequenc. I've met hundreds of gay men my life, and the only one that spoke wh a straight-up lisp was the one wh a cleft palate. I learned my psych class that there is a theory that if a man has a lot of olr brothers, he is more likely to be gay.

So as more male babi are born, the ttosterone plet and the youngt n end up more feme or gay. But this is jt a theory and there are fely other factors that terme if a fet is gay or not. Many feme gay men did not jt one day ci to act like that; they were always feme..
