PARTS OF SPEECH FOR GAY

Ined, two of the first LGBTQ s to ever be nsired by the Supreme Court were challeng to ernment efforts to censor publitns discsg gay and lbian subject matter for vlatg obsceny laws. In s rangg om prohibns on gay bars to refal to regnize queer stunt groups, urts began to regnize the right of LGBTQ people to ngregate, socialize, and anize for the purpose of exprsg their opns.

Moreover, to the extent such lawsus require urts to grapple wh the fact that one’s genr inty and exprsn may be divorced om certa blogil ponents (namely, external genalia), the challeng have the potential to te urts about transgenr, tersex, and genr-nonnformg inti, much as the early First Amendment obsceny s forced urts to nont gay and lbian sexualy. For example, one school punished a stunt and forba him om wearg a T-shirt ntag a rabow ichthys—known popularly as the “sign of the fish” or “J fish, ” a Christian symbol—and the slogan “J Is Not a Homophobe. After intifyg phoic characteristics that seem to make a man’s voice sound gay, their bt hunch is that some gay men may subnscly adopt certa female speech patterns.

THE GAY VOICE

And y, the stretchg out of “sibilant” nsonants such as s and z (image Kenh Williams sayg “She sells sea shells on the sea shore” and you’re sort of there) what about gay women? There are a few theori knockg around as to why this might be: Arnold Zwicky, his mply tled 1994 paper Two Lavenr Issu for Lguists, suggts that: “For many lbians, what is most important is intifitn wh the muny of women – while for many gay men, what is most important is distancg themselv om straight men. Third: this style of speakg isn’t simply an importatn of “feme” quali to male speech, although that appears to be what a lot of people, we’re still left wh the qutn of why a gay male voice might emerge.

When dis, a subversive dance movement that spoke to black people and women and gays, broke through, was vilified by mastream rock lovers for beg ksch and plastic.
