Are we seriously trying to say that they have a gay gene?! It goes the other way too sometimes, I had a teacher that was a dead ringer for Chris Lilley's Mr G in voice and flamboyancy but the guy had a wife and five kids. I've known a few straight people over the years to have the unfortunate trait of an effeminate voice and appearance, I don't know how it works but to say it's put on seems ridiculous when you see it in straight men too every now and then +1. Ive seen this too. People who I thought fit the gay stereotype but turned out to be straight....and weren't putting it on. So why is that image the gay stereotype? Is it because there are a large number of gay men who are like that? Yes... That's exactly why, so why are they like that? Saying that stereotypes are an accurate depiction ](*,) Not at all... I said it's a stereotype because its true of a large number of gay men... Not all, thus a stereotype and not a rule. Isn't gayness more of an effeminate stereotype rather than effeminateness a gay stereotype? That's probably true actually, Not a bad point really. Need to think more about that one.
