Some gay men you would never know just by talking to them, not all gay men mince around say hello ducky  .
Though some do it just to make a point and to wind people up  |

I'm all for it personally, one minute I'm just another customer at a bar or another shopper in Tesco , then I think "hang on, I'm talking to a gay guy" 10 minutes later he's swallowing my load! All good! Who ever invented it was a genius! |

"I work with a gay man and it's so obvious he is gay without him actually saying he is."
One of my managers at work is gay and you can tell by just looking at him, his mannerisms just let you know
Where as a work colleague of mine is gay and I worked with him for two years before I knew, I was genuinely shocked when I found out, he's very masculine |

I remember when George Michael came out thinking "jeez where did that come from!" (his voice) he must have been saving it up! |

Same with my daugher
She's a lesbian, her voice is really deep you just know by looking at her she's gay, she does have a high level of testosterone though which could account for her deep voice and boy like looks maybe it's the same visa versa for men, some gay men just look and act more feminine than others same as some lesbians are more butch than others |

"There's several straight men that sound "gay". Mist gay people I know talk normally. The way you talk doesn't have jack shit to do with your sexuality. "
Exactly right. I know several straight men who appear to be gay in mannerisms and yet aren't. |

Some gay men put it on just because they think it's expected due to stereotypes. It is annoying when they talked normal then come out and start talking in a certain way. But I know way more straight men that do it |

I am sure some gay men put it on a lot having said that I do know at lest two guys who lower the voice when talking to women, me and a mate used to take the piss out of them all the time, don't know if they thought it made them more manly lowering they voice but it was so funny. |

I know what you are saying - my son is gay and I guess I have always known from his mannerisms, the way he is - however when he officially came out to all his friends etc he became a lot camper - no idea why!?
Asked him this a while ago actually and he said he just felt able to do so but doesn't really know WHY - he is what he is though and I love him to bits  |

Still your son same as mine is, know it was really hard for him to come out and have to give him a hell of a lot of credit for doing it.
He happy and that's all we care about. |

The thing is, surely it would wrong to allow the behaviour of a deranged individual to influence or temper the ability of people to live their lives without feeling compelled to rain back on the pleasure of engaging in harmless social interaction..

You're absolutely right. Just a bit raw.
Stood in Old Compton Street last night with my friends, crying, helpless and angry that a bunch of people were targeted because who they are and chose live it openly. I've had eggs and fists thrown at me. Most of my friends have been abused, physically or verbally because they're a bit if a woopsie. Casual banter shouldn't bother me. But they do.

In all honesty mine found it reasonably easy with most people and 'told' me with the question:
'Mum, how did you know I was gay?'
I actually took that as a huge compliment and a testament to the great relationship we have.
I still don't get the camp him that appeared after he publicly outed himself though - it was like he had something to prove or a stereotype to live up to? He is back to himself mostly now though - he put Julian Clary him away |

I have previously been accused of homophobia for not finding 'softly spoken' men sexually attractive.
For me, the attraction in a man comes from either masculinity or cheeky boyishness.
Effeminacy does nothing for me. |

"Why do they sound "gay"?
I met the gayest man once... "Brad", limp-wristed, lisping "awright dawling, gis' a hug."
Married, with 2 kids. Openly gay, he just happened to be straight. "

The great thing is that it doesn't matter. Unless you're inclined like the Orlando guy, people are free to be themselves. It's liberating.
I assume that the majority of guys on fab who dabble in some ways with other men don't have telltale signs.
Separate issue - did anyone see the Liberace film? Recommend it? I think he was gay. |
