“GAY” SOUNDG!?!

Not jt a gay activy.

As might be expected, dockg is thought to be practiced more equently among men who are homosexual or bisexual; however, there seem to be a nsirable number of straight men who have docked wh another man.

CMV: Many straight men would sound like the stereotypil "gay voice" if they didn't force their voice the be eper.

FILM CLUB | ‘WHO SOUNDS GAY?’

Now pretty much everyone says I have a "gay voice" which I agree, I do thk I sound "gay" bee stereotypilly the pch of my voice sounds like the other gay people (<average). However I do feel like some straight men purposely make their voice eper jt to NOT sound "gay" even though naturally their pch wouldn't be as low.

Obvly some straight people and gay people have ep voic, voic e high and lows, but how many of the ep voiced men actually would sound like that whout purposely "puttg some bass their voice"? Rearchers om the Universy of Surrey say gay men are more likely to enunter discrimatn and prejudice than lbian women; particularly over the way they “sound. Homosexual men who believe their voice “sounds gay” anticipate facg bigotry on a regular basis, the report fds.

Specifilly, study thors vtigated if sentialist beliefs toward gay and lbian dividuals actually lead to tangible discrimatn.

Addnally, the participants’ views on “gay-soundg” voic has a ep nnectn to “avoidant discrimatn towards gay-soundg men. More gay men fear judgments about who they are. Rearchers asked this group about their beliefs regardg the sound of their voic and worri over beg perceived as gay.

This led to the ncln that far more gay men than lbian women believe that people n tect their sexual orientatn based on their voice. Consequently, gay men anticipate and worry about such events regularly. “What we have found is that people have stronger beliefs about the voic of gay men than lbian women.

In particular, beliefs that gay men and straight men have different voic that allow people to tect their sexual orientatn was lked to stigmatizatn, possibly explag why some heterosexual dividuals stigmatize gay-soundg men regardls of their sexualy.
