The authors speculate that stereotypes of gay adults may be rooted in the speech of boys who go on to identify as gay.
There are two possible explanations for the findings, Munson says. One is that the lisp is really a feature of gender dysphoria—possibly a product of the genetic and environmental factors that lead to the condition. And because adults have learned to associate the pattern with seemingly less masculine boys, they assume adult gay men do it as well, hence the stereotype.

... young boys who don't identify with their assigned gender ...Assigned by ... biology? Nah.
A: Paul Lynd on the Hollywood Squares.
Obama the sodomite.
I sure as hell hear it.
Biting their tongue?
I always kind of assumed it might be from oral damage from. . . er, . . . too much,. . .er, too often, er, well, too much force, er, well, . . you know. . . doing, er, what they do. . .
They don’t just assume that adult gay men do it too...
Because their lips are bagged....double entendre intended...
It is a deliberately cultivated affectation.
It ain’t rocket science.
I think there is barely any science in this “study”. It’s basically a collection of “maybe this” and “maybe that” and “we don’t know” and lots and lots of “we need more study (money)”.
What’s funny is that the gay accent can be found all over the world in many languages. It seemed so funny to me.
The pedophilic component of the sexual predation of homosexuality. They like little boys as that is their usual cognitive age; the age when many were sexually assaulted and indoctrinated into homosexuality.
The second is that it is a cultural thing. Sort of like Valley Girl speak.
It is an adopted habit.
Like Hillary’s Southern dialect or “Ebonics.”
I knew a black guy who would switch between standard American English and Ebonics depending on who he was talking to.
About half of the gay guys I know fit this description.
It came from gay men trying to imitate women.
A Spanish expression for “right on” or “hell yes” is orale, pronounced ‘oral lay’. :)
The trouble with this study is that they have assumed that a “Gay Lisp” is the same thing as a regular lisp. It’s not. That’s why we call it a “Gay Lisp” rather than just calling it a lisp.
I can’t give you the linguistic particulars of a “Gay Lisp,” but I know it when I hear it.
The lisp is like a dog whistle to advertise to others they are open for shop.
