Why do gay men act feminine
Is Being Gay Feminine?
What would you speak if someone asks you to depict a male lgbtq+ person (Gay)? What is the picture that came to your mind? okay.. stop there! Most of the characteristics you assumed and pictured so easily might be mere assumptions and generalizations.. in short, stereotypes. Surprised!? Unfortunately, it is true. Stereotypes rule our understanding and thinking to a greater extent than we ponder. It can be something as plain as the statement- ‘pink is for girls and cerulean is for boys!’. Homosexual orientation is one of the most misconstrued concepts in today’s world. Numerous stereotypical notions keep pouring in, be it for a male homosexuals (gay) or female homosexuals (lesbian). Permit us take a look at them and try to rethink and restructure our perception.
Most people tend to suppose that gay men like feminine things starting from clothes, makeup, jewellery, and all other preferences. however, it is not so. it is important to understand that creature a gay does not mean one is necessarily a woman inside or outside. It just means that a male shares more comfortable emotional, quixotic, or sexual relations with other males. There are some men who are ga
Why do some queer men “sound” gay? After three years of research, linguistics professors Henry Rogers and Ron Smyth may be on the verge of answering that doubt. After identifying phonetic characteristics that feel to make a man’s voice sound gay, their foremost hunch is that some gay men may subconsciously adopt certain female speech patterns. They yearn to know how men acquire this manner of speaking, and why – especially when world so often stigmatizes those with gay-sounding voices.
Rogers and Smyth are also exploring the stereotypes that gay men sound effeminate and are recognized by the way they say. They asked people to listen to recordings of 25 men, 17 of them gay. In 62 per cent of the cases the listeners identified the sexual orientation of the speakers correctly. Perhaps fewer than half of gay men sound gay, says Rogers.
The straightest-sounding voice in the study was in fact a gay man, and the sixth gayest-sounding voice was a straight man.

Why do so many effeminate gay men prefer in their partners the very masculinity they've bleached out of themselves?
The obvious address is that they're attracted to their opposites. But that answer only goes so far. Effeminate men may lust for their masculine counterparts but most masculine men don't go back the favor.
Effeminate men get hoisted on their own chiffon petards. The more they take on effeminate characteristics the less able they are to attract the kinds of guys they want to sleep with. This is a mating absurdity.
Imagine birds trying to charm mates with red and white plumage when the objects of their fondness are attracted to yellow and green.
The mis-matched mating call of the merry marys brings up a great question: If effeminacy is counter-productive to attracting the kind of sexual partners you desire, then why not butch it up?
Is it because like being gay, creature effeminate isn't a choice?
Nobody knows what fuels the gay flame -- essence or nurture. Some have faith gay guys turn sissy because they're naturally nelly and some think it's because they're conforming to a culture that expects it.
I've always maintained that effeminacy is like obesi
Gay Stereotypes: Are They True?
Sept. 15, 2006 — -- Gay activists often criticize media coverage of gay pride parades, saying, correctly, that the media focus on the extreme, the more flamboyantly feminine men and very masculine women. But that's not us, they say. Most of us are just like everyone else.
Are gays just like straights? Or is Hollywood's frequent portrayal of gay men as feminine more accurate?
We talked to Carson Kressley and Ted Allen, two of the stars of the punch television show "Queer Eye" about the stereotypes. What, we asked, are the stereotypes about homosexual men?
"It's that you're obsessed with fashion, and that you tan a lot and that you color your hair," they said. But, says Allen, the stereotypes are not always true. "Not all gay men are superstylish. Not all straight men are bad dressers," he said.
There is research that suggests gay men do prefer certain professions, favor fashion, interior design and hair coloring, and that lesbians are more likely to prefer sports and the military. Researchers tell it's because lesbians, on average, are attracted to more masculine occupations, and gay men t
