Ok, so PLEASE spare me the "it's just a stereotype" crap. I know. But come on, you can't be in so much denial as to say that many gay men don't act feminine. They tend to act, talk, socialize like females. Is it a social thing or a biological thing or what? And i'm not saying that all gay men act feminine, or that all men that act feminine are gay. I'm just saying, there's an obvious, undeniable correlation.

"I'm just saying, there's an obvious, undeniable correlation. "
There isn't. There are some gay men who act feminine but these are a minority. There are some straight men who act feminine but these are also a minority. Most of the time you would not know if the person you were talking to was gay or straight or whatever and that applies to those you think are acting feminine as well.

Its because gay men don't have a unified gender expression like straight men and straight women, and so there's a greater proportion of gay men who act counter to societies expectations for men.
This could be biological or it could be that gay boys simply don't respond to straight gender socialization growing up like straight boys and girls do, and therefore our personalities develop in all different kinds of directions with regards to gender, some happen to resemble those of straight males and some happen to be more in the realm of what most people would call femininity, and I would argue that some don't match either the masculine or feminine stereotype or even anything in-between.

Because they feel femine they feel like girs in the inside many are transgendered. They have a femal brain and there born with lack of testorone that could be a reason they are gay becaus ethye areborn with many feminine traits many lesbians have alot of testorone that's why alot of them like girls.. I was gay very queeny 'they thought they could correct" the problem with testorone treatments, my voice got deeper I acted more "manly" I got angrier easier but I was still bisexualll .. so it really depends good answer and another thing you thinkkk .. Its a majority but its a minority the reason you think like most gay men are queeny is because they are the obviously gay men !... 7 out of 10 (rough estimate not factual) lol are very masculine so you would never assume there gay alot of them are bi and date girll .. especially the (homo thugs lol) and prison gay so it really depends !

properly, it has not something to do with hormones, that concept has been clinically tried, however the extra testosterone they gave the adult adult males, the extra intercourse they needed - gay intercourse. It had no result on their orientation. That suggested, i think of those girly queans have merely grown up understanding they're gay and swallowing the heteros' concept that by some potential being gay potential being female. The heteros locate no reason to ask such questions approximately their sexuality - they conform, no rely the place they stand interior the Kinsey Scale. the undeniable fact that Plato observed issues in a various way is unknown to maximum heteros for the comparable reason.

Probably a complex thing. For some, it's a forced mannerism so that others identify them as gay. For others, it's probably hard-wired in their brains
What I really think - that the behaviour you attribute as feminine really isn't female in nature - it's different from you as a male - it's neither masculine or feminine - its homosexual. To prove this, take your stereotypical gay - imagine a woman being that way - it would seem out of place there as well.

You've just met the wrong ones then. You'll always have masculine and feminine gay men the same with masculine and feminine lesbian women. Most of my gay friends are very masculine. Including the lesbians, lol.

They don't act feminine. Do you know any women who act like gay men do? They simply aren't acting masculine. Nelly men aren't like straight men or women. They're an entirely different beast.

I don't think there is a concrete explanation for this phenomenon yet. Because scientists still don't understand exactly why people have different sexual orientations, it isn't possible for them to pin homosexual behavior patterns down to one cause or a set of conditions.
