The same thing that causes Aussies to sound like Aussies, Brits to sound like Brits, and Hillbillies to sound like Hillbillies.
​
Because their parents spoke 'gay'?

Re: some odds and ends
I'm not sure why homophobes like Faith feel the need to explain everything, ...
​
Is that a problem?
​
If so, why? And is it only a problem when 'homophobes' 'need to explain everything'? If non-'homophobes' seek the same explanations, is that okay?
Love your enemies!

Re: some odds and ends
It's a problem for both sides to come up with an explanation.
​
Why?

Re: some odds and ends
All I'm saying is we should all refrain from trying to come up with explanations for what we observe.
​
Really; this statement just floors me.

Re: some odds and ends
Please go back and reread my previous posts where I suggested we leave these things to experts that have done proper investigative work on the respective topic.
​
Do you think that makes it better?

Edited by Jon, : No reason given.

Re: some odds and ends
You should look up the definition of 'loaded question'.

I wonder if it's possible to type gay on the Internet?
​
Like, OMG, totally, right?

That would be valleyspeak, ...
​
Yes.
​
And Valleyspeak is another of the many registers stereotypically associated with 'gay speech'.
​
For evidence that this stereotypical association exists, just google it.
​
... something completely different.
​
Not entirely, no. As anglagard's daughter pointed out, the rising intonation of Valleyspeak is quite commonly associated with 'gay speech' - at least as far as stereotypes go.

So "gay speech" is different things to different people.
​
Obviously.
​
I wonder what sounding gay actually means to Faith.
​
Ask her.
