I would love to undertand better the reason/psychology/development of some homosexual men to speak in that distinctive way of speaking that seems exclusive to gay men. Like it isnt an accent, and doesnt seem to occur naturally since its exclusive to that group. Do gay men make it a point to learn to speak that way at some point? If so why?

My best guess is as a way to show their orientation publicly to signal to other gay men, in an effort to creat connections or find companions that are also gay? But that would imply its a conscious thing they learnedto do at some point?

PS please no inconsiderate responses. Be respectful people.

@freemo
It's probably less conscious than that. People start to mimic what they hear in order to fit in, like picking up an accent when you move to an area with a different one.

Coukd be. But one pointed out people seem to start doing this before they enter the gay community in a seemingly autonomous way at a you g age. If that is true it would seem its not as simple as that.
