GAY LISP

Wele back to “Ask a Homo, ” Outward’s no-judgement answer service for all your qutns on LGBTQ polics, culture, etiquette, language, and other queer nundms. This week, Bryan Lowr n-sth-irs the li-sth-p and other elements of the “stereotypil gay manner of speakg”—and honey, ’s jt fabulo! Send your queri—for publitn—to, and please put “ASK A HOMO” the subject le.

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.

Furthermore, there was no signifint genr difference wh rpect to associatg lispg wh gayns. The rults of this study nfirmed prev prelimary fdgs that suggted that ontal or ntal articulatn/lispg is a feature that listeners associate wh gayns.

THE "GAY" LISP, IS REAL OR IS FORCED?

Please don't remend I watch "Do I Sound Gay" bee I've seen and I do not unrstand. A gay lisp is actually not a lisp but refers to stereotypil speech attribut assigned to and sometim seen gay mal.

WHY IS ANY GUY WH A LISP ASSUMED TO BE GAY?

Several speech featur are stereotyped as markers of gay male inty: reful pronunciatn, wi pch range, high and rapidly changg pch, breathy tone, lengthened itive sounds, and pronunciatn of t as ts and d as dz.

Some rearchers report that North Amerin gay men tend to pronounce sibilants (s, z, sh, and the like) wh assibilatn -- more sibilatn, hissg, or strincy. A study by Rudolf Gd vtigated claims that people n intify gay mal by their speech and that the listeners e pch range and fluctuatn cidg. Gd found that listeners uld intify gay male speakers, but that there were no nvcg differenc pch.

WHAT MEANS TO ‘SOUND GAY’

Some analysts say gay people speak wh an affected accent, as a way of signallg their inty and affiliatn wh the gay subculture, or a way to exprs femy.

In the gay mal a signifintly higher prevalence of lispg was found than the heterosexual mal and femal. Breakdown of the rults of the gay participants two different age groups showed a higher prevalence of lispg the younger age group than the olr age group.

CAN I E "LARDY-DARDY" TO SCRIBE A MAN'S GAY LISP AND GTURE? [CLOSED]

No relatn was found between lispg and age of g-out or lispg and the probabily of beg gay as asssed by a qutnnaire about sexual orientatn. The orig of the high prevalence of lispg gay men needs further vtigatn.

What the gay man was alludg to was the lisp he had and the expectatn that expected the guy who asked him to classify anyone wh as clearly gay.

VARIATN, IMPLIED PATHOLOGY, SOCIAL MEANG, AND THE 'GAY LISP': A RPONSE TO VAN BORSEL ET AL. (2009)

So my qutn to you GAF is: Is the gay lisp real or is jt a forced thg that some gay men put on to somehow signify that they're gay? Ed: I put gay quotatn marks as I don't thk should necsarily be associated solely wh gay men.

GAYDAR—SENDG MIXED SIGNALS

I don't thk is, appearg/soundg "straight actg" is the most sirable thg you n be the gay muny.

I'm gonna go wh forced, only bee I n do a pch perfect one and I am not gay.

GAY PCH, LISP?

Every time I hear a person talkg wh the lisp, I assume they are gay. don't thk 's found a higher proportn gay men over any other group jt like pretty much any other characteristic but I ma the thread to fd out what the rt of you thk.

You may be nfg wh over-enunciatg certa words and the nce which some gay men speak when they're foolg around, but general most people I know speak like a regular human beg. Of urse we're generalizg or stereotypg but there is no nyg that 's really mon among gay men. Only one of my gay iends universy had that lisp, and he had basilly e over om Lebanon havg watched a ton of Will & Grace and thkg that's how gay people are supposed to act.
