Why do a lot of gay men have a lisp?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I don't believe that: There is any correlation between having a lisp and being gay, at least in the midwest. I recommend that you read an article on this at wikipedia and the conclusions that they reach.En.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/gay_lisp.

Most don't: Lisps are independent of sexuality but when we see a gay man with a lisp it fits a stereotype fostered and reinforced by video entertainment and other societal conveyances just as when we see a straight man with a lisp we associate him with accountants, nerds, or something similar. Nevertheless when gay men come out some adopt speech patterns and mannerisms to fit in with their newfound community.
