DO I SOUND GAY? | Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival

“Gay voice”: You can’t quite define it, but you know it when you hear it. Director David Thorpe sets out to figure out what “gay voice” is, working with a speech therapist and talking to notable LGBTQ figures like David Sedaris, Margaret Cho, Tim Gunn, Don Lemon and Dan Savage. Is the identification of “gay voice” homophobic? Do gay men who talk like gay men do it naturally, or is it learned? And why are we so hung up on sounding not-gay, anyway? These questions and more are examined in this funny, personal and provocative documentary from Thorpe, a humorously honest and self- aware journalist turned filmmaker. Dir.
