Do I Sound Gay? Trailer

When it comes to homosexuality in men, there are plenty of stereotypes associated with it. One of the most profound of all is that characteristic 'gay voice', that even the least bigoted person in the world can't deny exists. But why is it that some gay men have such an effeminate pattern of speech? What is it about being gay that leads many members of the gay community into this 'camp' convention? Especially when you take into account that many gay men were bullied for the way they spoke when they were young kids. David Thorpe seeks to challenge his own vocal habits, combat his anxiety about his feminine speech and learn the reasons behind why many people often subconsciously adopt this stereotypical persona - especially in a world no so against stereotypes of all descriptions.

'Do I Sound Gay?' is the humorous yet deeply amusing upcoming documentary from David Thorpe in his filmmaking debut, and features celebrities the likes of George Takei, TIM GUNN and Margaret Cho. The movie was partly funded by a Kickstarter campaign and won the Jury Award at the KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, while being nominated at Toronto International Film Festival for the People's Choice Award. It is due to be released in UK cinemas on October 30th 2015.
