Homosexuals

[4getmenot]

Now I may get in trouble for this but I'm gonna ask anyway, and before any homosexuals get on my back I have many gay friends so I'm not meaning to sound stereotypically but I just wondered if there is some connection between gay people and their voice boxes? as most gay people have girly voices, and often the boys who's voices never broke at school turned out to be gay. This is not meant to offend anyone.

"and before any homosexuals get on my back"

That could have been worded better 4getmenot!!! :o)

It is more likely to be genetic. The search is on to find the gay gene.

[dot.hawkes]

it doesn't offend me personally but it also doesn't sound very accurate or indeed pertinent, what prompted you to ask it?

[4getmenot]

I know I did think that, but then with me being a girl it shouldnt matter if they do :-)

Effeminacy in men and masculinity in women are often associated with homosexuality. Certainly not all homosexual people have these characteristics, and many effeminate men and masculine women are not homosexual, but the traits are common enough to create almost universally recognized stereotypes. Homosexuals may be using these characteristics to identify each other, and more often than they should, heterosexuals suspect homosexuality when they encounter an effeminate man or a masculine woman. Take David Walliams for example. My gay friend uses the ability to swap from masculine to effeminacy in the blink of a false eyelash, depending on who is in the room.

Midgets, gays, how very dare you?! Who next 4gotmenut!!

ooooooh brave question sis.

Ive thought about the few gay people i know and have to say that the gay couple we knew as kids, one had a deep voice and the other a higher pitched one. a couple i know now (lesbians) one has a much lower voice than the other. And a lesbian relative of ours did also have a very deep voice.

Bit worried though as me and you may have deeper voices than some women lol

Octavius, should we take bets on who she will ask about next? We havnt had any one-legged trapeze artists with lisps yet, how about the odds on that :)

[4getmenot]

I just asked because most of my gay mates have girly voices or some way you can definitely tell they are gay, as I said I�m not going on stereotypical view of things, its just that why do some gays have high voices. And I just asked because we were discussing it at weekend. oct brilliant answer and yer I know I;m offending everyone lately, woops :-)

[admarlow]

to carry of from Ocyavius - When they hand around lost of people with a similar type of voice it is gonna rub off on you a bit to, like if you moved to Scotland.

not all hetrosexual males have deep voices, e g david b.

[4getmenot]

admarlow my gay mate is scottish, how would that work? :-)

[4getmenot]

yer see crete, I think he'll come out one day :-)

4get I had an uncle that was gay and I didn't have a clue,he was a big bloke,worked as a labourer on the roads, built like a brick sh!thouse,deep voice,I had a hell of a shock when I went to his flat one night for a meal and this other bloke was there who he said was his friend and he was like Kenneth Williams, but I later learnt it was my uncle that was the feminine one.

[4getmenot]

I was going to say how could he be the feminine one, but ok think I can work that one out. :-)

[raysparx1]

4get, when I said feminine, I meant he made curtains,he cooked,he cleaned,he did the washing and ironing all the things more likely to be done by a lady, I didn't enquire about the bedroom antics,to much information for me,thank you.

[redcrx]

lol :)

[4getmenot]

woops sorry ray, got wrong end of the er stick :-) I was wondering how you found that out. I know what you mean though my mate is the more masculine but he does all the housework, cleaning etc and his girly boyfriend hits him.

[kwicky]

I think they should change the rules on this site and state their gender. Sometimes I have replied to a posting only to find later that I was giving advice to the opposite sex it was designed for.

[4getmenot]

dont worry quicky I chatted up JOEYGREEN for a while only for her to then post a question about her boyfriend :-) (I am a girl)
