Well…like anything. There are lots of gay guys you would never know were gay if you didn’t know them personally. I have two good gay friends who are pretty…manly. One of them is a beast at parkour. I knew them both before I found out they were gay and finding out hasn’t really changed anything about my friendship with them. They still sound and act the same.
Well let’s not pretend that there aren’t gay guys out there who sound very feminine. The stereotypical gay guy is limp-wristed and lispy, and I know of a few who don’t mind the stereotype at all. They’re fabulous.
Indeed, as there are straight guys. I’m not sure I understand the question: I have a homosexual friend; his voice is quite deep – actually, my voice is certainly less masculine than his, and my orientation is decidedly hetero.
Says the guy who started a thread about Rebecca Black. Calmy stop being a raging hypocrite. Thanks. Cause this is a serious thread for all the marbles.
Yeah, I suspected that response, but I was thinking that when one normally says a “gay voice” they mean one that sounds feminine…so as such a masculine gay voice by generalized meaning seems like a contradiction, and yet i have to wonder if there can be a feminine sounding voice that is of a gay man that yet sounds masculine…
I wasn’t trying to stereo type I was playing off the stereotypical meaning of the ideas implied by the words. Honestly though, I think that the association of gayness by intonation of voice is a serious determent to society and often leads many into being or feeling gay… and serves ultimately to ostracize many.
I’m not much interested in the right and wrong of stereotyping. It has its uses. And it has its limits. What i’m wondering about is if you know only gay men who have a stereotypically gay voice. Y’know, since you don’t seem to know what a “masculine” gay voice sounds like.
I was presuming the stereo typical definition of “gay voice” as to mean feminine… So My question could have been “can there be a masculine feminine voice of a homosexual person?” While seemingly contradictory, tin the stereo typical sense it is funny, but in so far as otherwise presented despite seeming contradiction I am still left wondering if such is possible. as perhaps what is feminine depends on perception anyways…IDK
As for the gay people I know, I actually don’t know that i know any that have a feminine or strong-feminine voice. I know plenty that are normal voiced, maybe one that is slightly “stereo-gay”…
But then again one does have the notice that the male gay “feminine” voice does not exactly sound feminine in general as it is more exagerative and maintains masculine aspects…
