I was friends with a nurse who told a story about a gay man who went into surgery. He had a heavy, stereotypical gay accent. But when he initially woke up after the surgery it was gone, and as the anesthesia faded, the accent slowly came back.
I'm sure it varies for each individual, but for at least some gay men, some portion of their accent might be an affectation (even if it's largely subconscious).
- yamazakiwi 4y agoWhile a "gay accent" is subjective, let's stay on topic. I don't know if I believe this story in full. An awake person is likely to showcase more linguistic characteristics vs a sedated person which would in turn sound less affectatious. It's hard to say, "Yes, Turntina slay!" when your groggier than a koala bear. We don't know to what degree their voice "changed" but I find it more likely the story was slightly exaggerated to make the story appear more interesting.
