Fitz – Dude… I’m pretty sure most gay guys arn’t into the whole… yaknow…. straight thing. The gay guys I know arn’t really fans of watching sports/drinking beer. They watch competitive dancing and drink martinis. Actually…. martinis are cool. James Bond drinks a martini. I want a martini now, excuse me.

Julie – I’ve known gay guys who talk exclusively like that. Weather it was Natural like Brian was saying or not, I have no idea, but it never really bothered me enough to ask.

I hear what you’re saying though. That makes a lot of sense. I will tell you though that I have had gay men that do not talk that way tell me they hate the gay voice guys. I think they might be talking about the loud guys you described though. That description is definitely the type of guy I am making fun of in this video and not so much ‘everyone’ that uses that voice.

And yes….the gay voice does come naturally to me. You may infer what you want from that but trust me I’m straight. I’ll tell you what though, how cool would it be to be gay? I mean I would double my wardrobe instantly. I would have someone to watch sports with and drink beer and all that stuff. If it were not for the whole ‘penis in my anus’ thing I would drop heterosexuality in a heartbeat!

Brian – I think you missed the part in the video where I said “I’m going to be a little homophobic”. You see, in my opinion we (straight people) are all a little homophobic. Kinda the same way that almost everyone is a little racist. That being said I have gay friends. I have hung out in a gay bar on more than one occasion and had a blast. At the end of the day I’m just poking fun and trust me, I spread the poking fun around to everyone. So if your ethicity or sexual orientation hasn’t been hit by me yet, don’t worry it’s coming.

Being gay is sometimes like being invisible with no fellow tribesmembers to hang with. Imagine going to work and being the only tech-geek around. When you met another tech-geek on the street, you’d probably be pretty eager to talk geek stuff. This is the same thing with gay men. Gay women also have ways of connecting that sets them apart (unfortunately for all of us, that has historically included wearing the lesbain mudflap haircut aka. mullet – but I digress).

Back to the subject at hand, connecting is why gay pride is so popular. It’s a way to come together with “your people” for a day – not to have to pretend to be someone else. I know you think that talking in a particular way doesn’t come naturally, and I agree that it’s learned – but it’s learned as a way to connect with others like you. So, when you’re in their company, it does come out naturally.

Then, for a small portion of gay men, it is because they’re attention whores. If they weren’t gay, they’d be douchbags, guidos – whatever name you want to pick. These are the gay guys who will talk loudly so that everyone else around them can hear, usually gossiping about someone else or cutting someone else down. Those are guys that you should be ranting about because they’re jerks spreading around a lot of negative energy.

In closing, I love you and your page, but I think you’re a little off base on this rant and I agree with Charlotte – that voice did come pretty naturally…………………

juliemccoy recently scribbled the following on their toilet (I mean blog)..One ticket or two?

Just wanted to point that out. Don’t fool yourselves, you’re not fooling anyone else.

P.s.- many straight people are guilty of the same thing- by this I mean they wouldn’t dream of saying or talking in a way they think is un-manly- thus they are covering up their “true voice” as you put it.

*cough*
