Gay voices

[ZACK0]

Hey guys, so i was thinking and you know how some gays have really high voices does their voice break or not

[Atlantis]

Well everyone's voice breaks. I know some people who are gay who have deep voices and some who are straight or bi (myself included) who have high voices

I feel this fits better here.

Some gay people have high voices just like some straight people have high voices and some bi people have high voices. On the other hand, some gay people have deep voices and the same with straight and bi people.

This is right.
High voices are bs just like all stereotypes.

Aye. Exactly my point above from the first reply.
I'm bi and have a high voice compared to some people I know who are gay and have deep voices

I agree that having varying pitched voices has nothing to do with sexuality, and you'll get it in all 'groups' of people.

I think part of the reason it is seen as stereotypically 'gay' is because it's seen to be more feminine, or even 'emotional'. I know that my voice is only the slightest bit deeper than when I was 12, and when I get worked up (like excitement, not anger) my pitch rises (like, a lot). I know that if I was straight, I would do my best to avoid letting anyone see that was happening, however I've got to the point where I've spent enough time hating myself that I prefer to be myself and let people judge me on incorrect stereotypes, than try to be someone I'm not.

I think simply that because in general, gay/bi/etc... people have spent longer becoming happy with themselves, they care less about the stereotypes, so are happier being themselves. I think the equivalent people who are straight might have a harder time being that person because they have to live with those stereotypes (however incorrect they are) and the negative connotations those stereotypes can sometimes bring.

Your theory sounds like it could be right. Although, I try really hard not to do it as well as I don't like the stereotype.

I agree it doesn't apply to all. I think it also have to do with the people you are surrounded with as well. If the people around me were homophobic etc I think I would be a shadow of the person I am at the moment.

Exactly!

I think it's just the way they talk to be honest, it has nothing to do with their voice breaking or not.
