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.

Now that’s funny.
Sounds like steam escaping!
I had to look it up on wikipedia. Sounds funny!
Why don’t they say their assigned sex?
Now, that makes sense.
Some of them are really funny. I’ll see if I can find one.
I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot sea.
Eye ran this poem threw it,
Your sure reel glad two no.
Its vary polished in it's weigh.
My checker tolled me sew.
A checker is a bless sing,
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when eye rime.
Each frays come posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.
Bee fore a veiling checker's
Hour spelling mite decline,
And if we're lacks oar have a laps,
We wood bee maid too wine.
Butt now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
Their are know fault's with in my cite,
Of nun eye am a wear.
Now spelling does knot phase me,
It does knot bring a tier.
My pay purrs awl due glad den
With wrapped word's fare as hear.
To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should bee proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaw's are knot aloud.
Sow ewe can sea why aye dew prays
Such soft wear four pea seas,
And why eye brake in two averse
Buy righting want too pleas.
I am forced into almost daily contact with an excessively annoying woman and I've always referred to her in code in text messages to my friends as "the Hisser." She'll come up to you and start with, "Sssssssso. I've been thinking about thisssss sssssyllabusss I'm writing...." or something like that and it just makes my skin crawl right off my bones and onto the floor every time she does it. I've been complaining to my friends about it for years. "Why does she talk like a gay man? Who does that????!!!" And I've also noticed that other women will pick it up unknowingly when talking to her. I've even caught myself doing it!
Ouch!
English’s greatest failing — spelling.
Other than that, it’s the best candidate for a global language.
Very cute!
People in my daughters high school who we've known since jr high “developed” a lisp just before “coming out”.
It's the fashionable gay thing, I guess. Or how to identify one another in public.
Well, that’s five minutes I’ll never get back.
The answer is simple. To them it is a hallmark of being feminine. If you listen to the cadence of quite a few women, you’ll hear the same thing, just less pronounced. From a woman, it sounds natural. From a man, it sounds like a bad parody.
It is the same reason the most extreme ones are petulant and sassy and walk with a twitchy rear end. Their hands flutter and they overreact in conversation and address women as “girfriend”. Some women tend to do this too, but, for them, it sounds completely natural. Homosexuals are trying to mimic spoiled little girls. They are mocking femininity while assuming that it will attract men.
Obama’s “S” sound is a WHISTLE. It’s not a hard or soft “S” as described in this article, it’s a clear, sinusoidal WHISTLE.
It was even worse about 25-20 years ago. Listen to his famous interview on public radio in Chicago, when he talked about the racist Constitution and its “negative rights.” The whistling is excruciating. Maybe his teeth have shifted position a little.
It’s an affected speech pattern. Consider it a “dialect”. It is not genetic.
The war on science must end.
PS we are born naked, there is no “wear the clothes of the opposite sex” gene.
It’s a calling card, “ohhhhhhh, do you swthing too??”
Who was the wiseass who decided to spell lisp with an s???
Transvestites are the gay equivalent of "black face".
