Let's talk about the lisp.

[XRIMO]

The reason I thought about this question is because one of my roommates has a brother who is gay. He has a little lisp, but perhaps not noticeable enough to determine he's gay. But he brought two friends over who both spoke with a heavy lisp and accent.

I don't have a lisp or accent when I speak naturally, so its always strange why it happens.

Thanks Andy123 for the info. It makes sense that some gay men immitate female intricities. But it still stupifies me how it occured and has become the signature stereotype of gay men. Perhaps its their way of declaring their sexuality without bluntly yelling out "I am gay!"
