Serious question. Why is the gay lisp a thing?
- It is?detritus

- good doc. saw it few years back at Hot Docs fest.Gnash
- It's not a gay lisp, it's a lisp. Almost none of the gays I know have it, while I've known two straights with it.i_monk
- Then what’s with the talking kinda like teenage girls thing?monospaced
- because low-poly attention whores need stupid made-up things to feel special?sted
- What do you mean by "a thing"?notype
- I’ve noticed among the gay people I know that a significant percentage have adopted a cultural style of speaking, while others have not. It’s a thing I guess.monospaced
- got an experts opinion on this:
It's a thing, and it's sexy. But guys grow out of it, as they get older.sted - being gay is de-individualzing. you lose all your personality traits in order to adopt a template of gay voice and gestures.drgs
- gay people converge into one organism, like antsdrgs
- You could say the same thing about straight people and it would be an equally retarded generalisation.set
- I don’t think anyone is generalizing, just noticing something that is a thing in many cases. Of course straight people have localized dialects too.monospaced
- I was talking to drgs and his odd comment.set

- Fucking listen to yourselves. All we need is robo to make a trans joke and we have QBN bingo.face_melter
- ... bc wiki is always a good source of truth. GTFOnotype
- lol @ face :)fadein11
- would this still be called 'mansplaining'?Gnash
- As the only gay in the QBN village (no lisp, not camp) I think it is largely a learned affectation, list most speech patterns and behaviours.i_monk
- There are also pervasive gay stereotypes that are fiercely (in both senses) defended by gays who embody them, to the point that gays who do not are likely to bei_monk
- called straight-acting, self-hating, or some other insult for failure to conform.i_monk
- Conforming by not confirming in the same way. Funny.pango
- *confirmingpango
- Damn it * conformingpango
- I’ve only known 1 gay man with a lisp in my 40 yrs and i consider myself “in community”, don’t believe the hype. I’ve known a few (very) straight dudes with anotype
- lisp (likely just called a speech impediment for them)notype
