You either live a very sheltered life or aren't paying attention. I have met at least 100 people in my life with a very noticeable gay accent and I live in a small Canadian redneck cow town. I know where 3 or 4 work in town and we could visit them if you were here and listen to them talk. Many accented men I met have moved or died and countless others I met while on holidays with my wife. I am not gay or go looking for the gay areas but I have inadvertently been in a gay bar a couple of times.


Are they actually gay or are you assuming they are gay because of how they speak?

Like I said in my post the one person I can remeber turned out to not be gay...

But not a talking head on
network news. That's a
fact. There are lots that
had to lose the accent
before they even applied
for a job.

My dad is from W VA and
when we visited there
they spoke a foreign
language that I didn't
understand. And after a
day my dad was talking
just like them.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Anecdotally, I know multiple gay men who you would never guess are gay. Zero “gay” accents or mannerisms.

Yet I have 2 other friends who I would have bet a lot of money were gay as soon as I met them. Both have extremely attractive wives and kids.

I could be wrong, but I don't think he was even born back then.

Because of how they speak, how they dress and their husbands have told me they are gay. I couldn't give a shit if someone is gay or not or how they speak and I have a few gay friends. I don't think rainbow sidewalks or gay parades are necessary.

As for people changing their voice when talking to people they are sexually interested in (this happens for literally everyone)……

Oh, so this dude changed his voice to sound gay because he's sexually interested in the honey badger??

I swear, some of these libbie explanations are so ridiculous. FOH 😂😂

Are you seriously citing a video that nobody knows who made it, and it was obviously released as a nat-geo paradoy to show an example of a gay accent?

Nobody knows who narrates that, noboy knows if he really talks that way, and if he does, if he is really gay....

Exactly my point, "the gay accent" , in my ancedotal expierence does not correlate with being gay either (the one example I can think of was definitely straight). And, most gay men I know you, would never know they are gay.
