... and it's not just sexual orientation. So when some here absolutely deny the existance of stereotypes, I say "read the link, and chew on that."
Gay Stereotypes: Are They True?
Excerpts:
There is research that suggests gay men do prefer certain professions, like fashion, interior design and hair coloring, and that lesbians are more likely to prefer sports and the military. Researchers say it's because lesbians, on average, are attracted to more masculine occupations, and gay men tend to prefer more feminine occupations
Northwestern University psychology professor Michael Bailey has spent years studying human sexuality. He says sexual orientation is something people are born with, and this orientation makes some gay men more feminine.
"There's no obvious reason why sexual orientation should be associated with how masculine or feminine one is, but it is in our species. And it probably has to do with the causes of sexual orientation and early effects of hormones on the brain," Bailey said.
Bailey did a survey of professional dancers and found half the men were gay. But why? "Because dancing is a feminine occupation," he said.
Another stereotype is that gay people speak differently than straight people. That's often true, said Bailey.
"Gay men absolutely talk differently, on average. You can tell far better than chance who's a gay man from just listening to him say four sentences," Bailey said.
