Do I Sound Gay?

Featuring candid interviews with Dan Savage, David Sedaris, Margaret Cho, George Takei, Tim Gunn and more, Do I Sound Gay? is a fun and fascinating look into what makes a human voice sound “gay.” Director and journalist David Thorpe has always felt self-conscious about his stereotypically un-macho voice. After a breakup with his boyfriend, he takes a quest to unravel the linguistic mystery and examine why there such a stigma attached to “sounding gay.” Thorpe consults with everyone from speech therapists to public figures to total strangers as he unpacks complex cultural questions. Told with wit, verve and intelligence, Do I Sound Gay? is a refreshingly frank and thoroughly entertaining look at a taboo topic.
