In my (admittedly and thankfully limited) experience, gay males tend to end up affecting psuedo-southern accents, which is simultaneously insulting to Southerners and a good identifier.

This explains the effeminate homosexual that the hyper masculine nazi homosexuals persucuted but what about the butch homo’s? How does this work with the leather bar homo’s?

Maybe its because the Twinks like to have their lips pursed into a tight “O” shape, whilst they’re trying to talk to their “man”!

The gay guys pick up that ‘vowel’ accent from watching too much Bravo TV - or maybe it’s a ‘bowel’ accent (sorry for the visual - in advance)

Which brings me to this question: why are TV-show lesbians so pretty? That reminds me of a Saturday Night Live skit where some frat boys get a wish and they ask to see a couple lesbians get it on and they forget to say "hot" so they get very, very butch lesbians.

To me Obama sounds like he has a midwestern accent, which I am very used to. Not a lot of twang or slang. Fairly straight pronounciation.

OK, that’s one more stereotype down the drain, thank God.

It might have something to do with TV. For example, I briefly glanced at “Glee” while channel surfing and didn’t think about sex for days.

I watch most TV shows on the internet- there’s been so much buzz on that show ‘Glee’ I was thinking of watching a couple of episodes - then I thought better of it and decided to steer queer of the show completely....
