Is there any research into the "gay voice."
For example, there are just some men whom, when you hear them speak, you know immediately they're gay.
Is there a cause and effect relationship here?
Also what are the implications for men who speak womanly, but aren't gay. You all know whom I'm talking about. If you exchanged their voice for a woman's, they would it would be congruent. They have the same intonation and mannerism in body language.
It also seems to be somewhat regional and somewhat cultural. For example, most californians I meet talk in this womanly way, and so to do people who spend a lot of time on certain social media sites. They stand in stark contrast to other people I meet from certain other regions, particularly the midwest, plains (ie. before between the rockies and the mississippi ) and south, who don't spend the same amount of time on certain social media sites. These guys don't speak in a womanly way.
Perhaps I'm biased because I myself am from the South, so I have a different conception of how woman and men speak than people from california? But the thing is though, the gay voice doesn't seem regional or cultural. I can recognize the gay voice, even when I was in Greece for the summer.
