[Mike20394]

Back when Clinton was running for president, there were reports that his campaign committee suggested they stop bringing in so many staffers with a ‘San Francisco accent.’ When I first heard that, I cracked up laughing…obviously the committee felt there was an over-representation of gays on the staff and they were recognizable by their ‘accent’. People just have a natural desire to ‘fit in’ with the crowd they mostly associate with, and part of this is mimicking or copying speech habits and afflections. Many of my gay friends affect the ‘gay accent’ without even knowing it when hanging out in a gay crowd- but when hanging around a ‘straight’ crowd- well, ‘you would never know!’
