+436 gay guys might not choose to be attracted to men, but they definitely choose to adopt the high voice and girlish mannerisms, amirite?

Sometimes they are brought up to be feminine.. Sometimes its out of their control.

No more than you "choose" to adopt the opposite. If you think gay guys go around purposefully raising their inflections every time they speak you are mistaken.

actually, scientists think that boys are born gay because of excess estrogen that is delivered to their brains before they are born, which is why they act girly...so really, its not a choice

i think if this is true, it's also true that MOST straight guys choose to be overly competitive and obsessed with sports and video games and always have to be right

No it can't be helped. Trying to not act with girlish mannerisms is nearly impossible for most

there seem to some contradictions here. One person says that lots of gays are "manly" (which of course is true) and someone else says that science explains why gays are so feminine. So is this scientific theory just true for those who do happen to have that sassy feminine flair?

Your logic is faulty. Straight guys can act "manly" or "feminine", too. According to you, people actively choose the traits they exhibit.

ya, they do. straight guys can act feminine or masculine by choice, just as gay guys can. gays just seem more keen on choosing the feminine side

My friend got the gay inflection and girlish mannerisms the day after he came out. -sigh-

Sure. A gay guy can choose to wear tight pants and "girly" clothes, and some of them act like perfectly "normal" guys, but have you ever seen an effeminate gay guy try to act masculine? It looks so awkward. Some people just naturally identify differently than others, and why shouldn't they?
