Are there stereotypical speech patterns or inflections associated with gay Japanese speakers?


**This is not intended to be a controversial or provocative question.**

In English, there are ["commonly accepted"
stereotypes](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_lisp) for how gay people
sometimes speak. Are there corresponding characteristics to how gay Japanese
people speak, either specific words, phrases, or constructs; or in how certain
sounds are inflected?

I'm curious if Japanese is as permissive as English in "allowing," for
example, gay men to use more feminine speech forms, or if the strictures of
the language and culture pretty much tie all genders to prescribed speech
patterns regardless of sexual orientation.

Examples of words, phrases, or sentences that are clearly recognized as "gay"
would be appreciated. For example, in the US, it is not uncommon for some gay
men to call each other "girl." As another example, per the link above,
sometimes gay men (especially when speaking excitably) have a distinctly
melodic or tonal-variadic inflection. Things like this that might parallel to
Japanese (or completely unique instances) are what I'm curious about.




There's something called
[オネエ言葉](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%8D%E3%82%A8%E8%A8%80%E8%91%89),
which, similar to English, is a stereotype of gay men who use feminine
speech/gestures. c.f. [this show](http://www.ntv.co.jp/one-mans/) (warning: do

オネエ can be used to describe a person who uses such speech/gestures.
