What is up with the gay lisp?

Most times when I see discussion on the gay lisp, people just say “oh, they’re just faking it”. But sometimes I wonder. I met this gay guy who did not look gay at all. Just looked like a regular Asian kid. But he had an adorable girly gay voice. According to Wikipedia, the gay lisp is “poorly understood”.

I know that plenty of gay people do fake it and/or exaggerate it, but I wonder sometimes about if some of it is natural.

For example, my voice is not very masculine. In some ways, I do have kind of a gay voice. I’ve been told that plenty of times and to me, it’s a good thing. When I was younger (pre-10th grade) I had a really high girly voice. I always liked it, but it was quite remarkable. Much higher than pretty every single guy in my grade. And now that voice has deepened, there’s a big change, but that same basic sound is still there and that’s just the way it’s always been.

Of course, I’m more inclined to believe me being gay is just a coincidence. But sometimes I wonder…

Yeah, okay, I’m up on a Friday night because I went to a party but didn’t get drunk. :P
