I guess I should have been less general in my question. I'm sorry, I did not mean to be offensive. Your responses have helped me to understand. I have noticed that not all gay men speak that way and yes, I have met many gay men.

Almost completely not true. Have you met a gay guy, you know, in real life?

Maybe it's because they're trying to be feminine.
You know how a heterosexual couple would have a man and a woman? Maybe gay men feel that there is one "man" and a "woman" in a gay relationship, meaning that one man is masculine, and the other is feminine.
This is just my guess. I'm sure there's a more logical explaination behind this.
Or perhaps the media gave them that trait?

All of the gay guys I have met don't talk with a lisp. Of course TV sensationalizes gay people to be flamers, that's just TV, sure there are some people like that, but that is not the case in reality.

Well I like your additional details, so I will just say that questions like that are offensive to our community as a whole. And generalizations like those are a big part of the problems we have to face every day of our lives. But, it does sound like maybe you learned a little something. I really hope you did man. If you did, try to pass it on! :@)

I know exactly what you are talking about. You are referring to metrosexuals.
I have yet to meet a gay man who talked like a straight man, but i guess that would defea the purpose.
Me and my boyfriend had a discussion as to why gay mens voices sounded the way they did. He figures its kinda a mating call for other gay men to find them.lol.
Hilarious.

If you mean the way a person speaks I could probably get a bit detailed. If you're talking about vocabulary and such, I've never noticed much of a difference.

Do they? I assume you are refering to a lisp which is part of the stereotype of a 'gay man'. I think a lot of gay men speak 'normally' and there are straight men who have a lisp.

yeah its a secret code and you straights cant break the code. Of course no you retard. Some guy are more feminine but that doesn't mean they are gay. Some women are more masculine but that doesn't mean they are gay either.

The only thing that I notice fairly consistently, and it may be a stereotype, is that gay men generally are more articulate than straight men. They express themselves better and have better communication skills. Avoiding cliches, slang, "umms" and "uhh's" and things like that.
I think this may be because they tend to be a bit more cultured than average.
