    I've kind of wondered this too, but I think for some people it is definitely learned and other people have just always talked like that. I do know a fair few guys who talked normally, got in with a load of other gay guys and then started talking like them. However, I think that only about like 30/40% have the voice at all.

    I know lads who had it as kids (the voice) and grew up to be gay.

    I would guess it is a hormonal thing, just as they say a certain part of the brain decides on sexual orientation and is more female hormonally in gay men.

    There are crusty voiced gay men, but I would hazard a guess that it is based on the hormonal development of the brain. I doubt its a put on thing, otherwise the kids I knew in school had decided to be gay before they even hit puberty and despite the slagging the school knackers would give them.

    I always thought it was just down to hormones.

    There are people who deliberately camp it up at times.
