That raises an interesting issue. There may not be a "gay gene," but you can certainly tell a homosexual when you see one. Not because of how he dresses or what he says. But there is a certain sameness in their mannerisms. The wrist. The lisp. It's considered a stereotype, I guess, but it's true.

With all due respect this is nonsense.
Anybody who's been around knows that men often exhibit these mannerisms yet are totally hetero in their sexual attractions.

And many men who are totally gay, who aren't the least bit attracted to women, exhibit none of these feminine mannerisms you mention.

Anybody who's been around....

and so it begins.

I'm not arguing that it's an exact science, it's just my anecdotal observation that gays appear to have a lot in common, regardless of where they're from or how old they are.

We could spot it easily as kids, and there does seem to be some kind of "gay sensibility." It's a stereotype, but gays really are florists, flight attendants, decorators, etc.

And since these stereotypes apply to gays from all over, there must be SOMETHING that gives them a common link. If not a gay gene, then I'm curious as to what it is.
