why do gay men have slightly feminine voices?

yeah, not femine but i know what you mean its commonly known as the "gay accent"\nand its definately something that is manufactured or made up by them\nwant proof, well have you ever heard a boy of say 12 with the same accent or 13 or 14 \nno it seems to me that gays with this accent dont slowly develop it over time it just seems to happen overnight\nbut think a minute, not all of them have this accent, for instance\non one end of the scale you have julian clarey or boy george\nand then there are people such as sir ian mckelan\ni guess were all individuals

men have huge pride and authority issues. If they show their feelings, to them, it's like showing a weakness. Just because they don't say it doesn't mean they don't feel it. they just don't like to show their weaknesses, because then they're not manly anymore.

Here are a few that I've heard (not that I believe or endorse any of these):\n\nFor men:\n- They use the "flop" hand gesture.\n- They all have higher voices.\n- They all dress very well, and generally have a good eye for art and and interior design.\n- They are more sensitive than other men.\n\nFor women:\n- They are "butch" in comparison to other females, both in terms of appearance and personality.\n- They are radical feminists.\n\nIn general:\n-They are more promiscuous than heterosexuals.\n- They all have STDs/AIDS (this one is especially used against men, but I've heard it said about women, too).\n- They are mentally ill, and can be "cured" of their homosexuality with the right therapy.\n- They're lazy.\n- The only reason why they're homosexual is that they've had bad experiences with people of the opposite sex.\n- They party too much, and they're irresponsible.\n\nRemember, these are stereotypes! They cannot be used to define the homosexual community.

LOL.  Yes!  For me, gay men seem easier to talk to than women or straight men.

because men are all secretly gay

Same reason straight guys do.  To attract a mate, regardless of one's own personal preference.  I'm just glad that there are people out there who go for us geek types who don't have the chiseled and sculpted bodies.

Some guys just don't have very deep voices.\n\nIt could be that, or it could be it just hasn't happened yet. Guys keep maturing until their mid 20's.

You are confusing transgenderism (genfer disphoria) with homosexuality. Most gay men do not feel like women inside and most lesbians do not feel like men inside. Gay men and lesbian women are simply attracted to the same gender.\n\nTrue, some gay men act effeminate and some lesbians act masculine, but that is not the rule. I suspect it to be a learned behavior, or a mode of dealing with the world that feels comfortable to the individual.\n\nTransgenderism is the feeling that your external gender does not match how you feel internally.

How do YOU know they are gay?  Sounds like you might listen to pop music in the closet.

men are, for lack of a better word, programmed by their male figure in their lives not to deal with certain emotions. If they do, more often than not, they find out at an early age that they will be labled with such words as,"queer", "fag", or other various labels. now to save face i want people to know that i DO NOT in anyway condone these words.\nall that us women can do is learn to cope with how MOST men are and hope that one day you will find yourself in a comfort zone with a man and find what he is REALLY thinking.

I don't think we do. I'm gay and have been out at work for a year and a half. When I first told the guys there, they told me that they would never have known if I didn't tell them. About a month ago one of them told me "I still can't believe your gay". The thing is that most gay guys don't act "weird". Most act just like the guy next door. That's why you can never know for sure who is gay and who is not.  There are a lot of men out there who have a lot of the "feminine" traits but they are straight.  Who's to know?

C. It's not a hetero thing. I know some pretty mouthy, opinionated gay men too. Some people just want to interject their own opinion on others. Like I am doing here. LOL\n\nThe significant difference is that I don't expect you to agree with me.

That is such a stereotypical answer. Acts like a girl... Not every gay guy is feminine... For every type of straight guy, there is a gay guy. Gay guys like sports, drink beer, are outsdoorsmen too. Yes there are those who like theatre, are creative, but there are straight guys like that too....\n\nThere isn't a science to knowing if someone is gay. I would suggest if its someone you are close to, let them come to you with that information... You might want to give signals that you are okay with it. So they feel comfortable. It is a very scary thing, coming out!!!\n\n\n... just a FYI, if a guy likes to dress in womens clothing it means hes a cross dresser, not nessissarly gay. Those making these statements about gay guys acting like a girl, do you personally know a guy who is gay?????

Hi- I am a MtF transsexual and I have some impressive ta-ta's (breasts for you clueless out there). I got a little greedy, told my doc (Thailand docs are the coolest!) to implant me with some big 'uns, and, well, I ended up with a 46 DDDD/G rack- Oy!\n\nAny way, my gay friends all act so jealous that I went ahead and got boobs (Yeah- like being a flat chested girl is supposed to be natural). I jokingly told one of my closest gay male friends that I would be happy to pay for him to get some of his own, but he acted shocked and immediately started back-pedaling on what he said he wanted. (He still likes to wear my bra occasionally- go figure).\n\nI think gay men are very in touch with their feminine side, and want to be more feminine, but getting a sex change seems to cross the line- they still enjoy being men and having their outdoor plumbing, too. I guess that also applies to getting boobs- they may like them, because they are an obvious outer sign of femininity, but they wouldn't actually want a pair attached to THEM. Watch Will & Grace- this theme comes up a lot between the characters Jack McFarland and Karen Walker.\n\nI enjoy it when my gay friend wants to masssage my boobies, though- I know it won't lead to sex.\n\nHope this helps...    =^.^=\n\nOh, and Jom156- you are a spaz fundie retard- the poster SPECIFICALLY SAID "no derogatory remarks", and, well I guess you couldn't resist-

I suppose so. I personally consider myself on the effeminate side in some ways but masculine side in others. My voice, for instance, can be rather high-pitched and effeminate and I've been working on it with a tape-recorder so I know I CAN sound masculine, it's just going to take some more discipline from me. (Don't judge, I've been made fun of for this, even assaulted to the point I was hospitalized, for as long as I remember). Some may call it trying to act straight and it probably is. All I can say is that I'm trying my best to get by in a close-minded part of the country.

I think men who wear pink--just like women who wear pink--generally do so because they like the color, and/or think that they look good in it. Men have, for quite awhile, not had a very good variety of options in terms of clothing styles, patterns, and colors, so perhaps they are simply taking advantage of a somewhat greater range of fashion choices now avaliable to them.
