Why do gay men act so feminine?
<|assistant|>
Gay men may act feminine for various reasons, such as to express themselves or to gain acceptance within their communities. Some view femme style as a form of empowerment, while others may do so out of necessity, as society often expects males to act in a more traditionally masculine way. Additionally, there is a connection between femininity and sexuality; in certain cultures, gay or bisexual men were often stereotypically associated with more “feminine” qualities like wearing makeup, wearing frills, carrying pocketbooks, or having lighter colored hair. This stigma has faded in some circles, but many gay and bisexual men still use these characteristics as a way to express their sexualities and personalities.
