Do gay men have to acquire the gay lisp as part of the gay culture or do you think that it comes naturally to them?

Answered Nurture: They acquire the lisp
This is the one aspect of gayness I don't understand. So you like guys....why talk like a girl then?
Some people probably develop the lisp because of growing up with a lot of feminine influence. You can definatley tell who the gay guys are that are purposely emphasizing the lisp to be noticed. I think it's obnoxious especially when you can tell it's fake. -
Answered Nurture: They acquire the lisp
I'm pretty sure it's more of a nurture thing because not all gay men have a lisp. I think it's more of a cultural thing. That's like blaming genetics for black people using ebonics or white people talking with flat accents. It might seem common, but it's a stereotype because we all know that not everyone from a given group has the same accent. DNA only goes so far on its own. -

It’s hard to believe that I still get surprised at my age…but I do. For crying out loud….people are just people! Well, I guess there is the fringe that acts a little (or allot) “over the top”….but in all of my years I’ve known so many people that have “come out”! They’re just people! They aren’t too this or too that! Most of them you probably wouldn’t, or (probably more unnerving to some) don’t, know that anything is different.
Not all guys lisp and cook! Not all women are...whatever the “butch”stereotype thing is this week! I can’t believe that we’re still accepting the silly stereotypes!
People are just people! Some male football players and some beautiful female models are gay. Some are good, some are bad! And yes…God does Love us all! That’s why he sent his son! The gay thing….oh really...just get over it already! -
So true. I believe it to be time we discuss these issues openly, and the default opinion is that no group does this or that or the other, but an individual's rights and opinions be respected. I'm told the muslims are out to kill me, for example, and the colsest to this i have experienced (despite having been this > < close to the London bombings) was my good friend Nurgis offering me a cigarette!

Maximum shame be upon those who poison the reputation of any fine individual who tries, accepts, learns, integrates, and brings the differences between themselves and oneself to one as an interesting part of themselves that we can discuss openly with them and learn and evolve from! See my soon to come blog for a great example...

I don't think the question is stereotyping. I think it's a great question that the gay community could help us answer so we can understand more.
A lot of gay guys have a lisp. Not all, but a higher percentage than straight men. I'm curious because I don't think that the lisp really has anything to do with who you're "checking out."
I think it must be a cultural thing or at least a way to let the people around them know without walking around saying "I'm gay" every five seconds. -
You'd never have picked the Deam of the Cathedral who married my parents then. He did many people much good with his spritual advice, but he happens to love a man. I respect him (even as a pagan) to bother guessing whether the relationship was physical or not. All i know is he spoke wisdom who meant much to a believer of a different type, and as long as he does the good he does, i care not about to whom his heart is given.
