In fact, you might think (just like I did\u2026and all those aforementioned \u201cmale maker\u201d alpha males\u2026lol) that the lisp associated with gays or the high-pitched intonations are a direct correlation to some gender inversion\u2026i.e. wanting to sound female. But, actually, some theories suggest that it could be a form of arrested development, gay men relating more to their childlike-selves\u2026hence the high tone voice. Anyway, it\u2019s all super interesting.
