Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Do I Sound Gay? is a 2014 American documentary film by David Thorpe that explores the existence and accuracy of stereotypes about the speech patterns of gay men, and the ways in which one's degree of conformity to the stereotype can contribute to internalized homophobia. Other figures participating in the film include Dan Savage, George Takei, David Sedaris, Tim Gunn, and Margaret Cho, as well as University of Toronto linguist Ron Smyth. The film was funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign in the spring of 2014. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
