Where does the gay accent originate from?

[observe]

Seems like when a man goes full gay he starts talking in that accent.. Where does it come from?

i always wondered about that shyt too. i think it might be a subconscious thing of trying to be more feminine. I guess it depends what type of queer you are.

I guess its apart of gay culture and it helps them feel more connected to the gay community. Kinda how we know what white voices vs black voices sou nd like.

Its kinda like code switching for them.

Also, it could be just them trynna sound cute or feminine. Im weird like that my voice/accent change depending on who im talking too.

Flamboyant gays mess it up for the less animated ones. That accent is just asking people to be homophobic

what @CinnaSlim said. it's kinda like when you go to a job interview or are at work in a Fortune 500. You kinda switch your voice up a little subconciously to sound less "******ish" or whatever

its their mating call

theres always one male dominant gay and the female gay. The female gay im pretty sure has the voice.

They aren't doing it in specific settings

I've seen my share where they both got that way of talking. So I don't think it's that.

its not about the setting but the ego.

a black man in a white corporation is gonna wanna sound more friendly or less threatening or whatever to let you know theyre not an aggressive black male (no c00n)
a gay person wants to sound more feminine to let you know that theyre gay and proud to be it

But when I say AMA nikkas never ask they pressing questions.

Some people that AREN'T gay talk like that. Some people get affected and feel like they have to do it. for other's that is just their voice. And it originated in France.
