Why do gay men act so feminine?
<|assistant|>
Some gay men adopt a more feminine behavior, such as walking in high heels and speaking in a higher register, as a way to express their gender identity and to resist anti-LGBTQ+ social norms. Other gay men may act more feminine as a way to attract sexual partners. Acting more feminine can be empowering and can also challenge societal expectations of gender performance.
