WHY DO GAY GUYS SPEAK WH A LISP??
In 'Do I Sound Gay?', David Thorpe exam the myster orig of the "gay voice" while tryg—and failg—to rid himself of his own gayish flectn * why do gay people have lisps *
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.
THE GAY VOICE
So, as the tle says, why do gays have lisps. I know not all of them have lisps, and everyone who has lisp aren't gay, but a majory of them do. So... * why do gay people have lisps *
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.
OF LISPS AND LGUISTICS: THE POWER OF THE GAY VOICE
* why do gay people have lisps *
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.
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. 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. 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.
THE "GAY" LISP, IS REAL OR IS FORCED?
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). It's no secret that many gay men were effemate as kids, playg wh girls' toys, havg a lot of female iends.
WHAT MEANS TO ‘SOUND GAY’
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. 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.
IS THERE A “GAY VOICE”?
Why would they emulate somethg which is looked very down upon by society and even the gay muny for e. I thk the stereotyp may be exaggerated by some gay men as a way to rebel agast femy beg seen as weak or femy men beg seen as negative; hence the need to be "fierce" and "fabulo".
