Abstract

The objective of this project would be to establish social acceptance or the lack thereof as a contributing factor to the development of stereotypical speech patterns in gay men. Much of the literature in the area concerns the existence of a gay lisp rather than conditions for its development, so I am attempting to fill this gap in existing research. This would likely be established through in-person interviews with gay men of a broad age range. Questions would concern one’s coming out experience and acceptance in various social areas, as well as demographics to rule out or establish other contributors. Following the interview, a specific sample (same sentence) of each man’s voice would be rated on a scale of heterosexuality vs. homosexuality by several individuals outside the study group. By the time of the conference, I will ideally be attempting to apply for ethical approval of my refined methods.
