[[Gay lisp]]: redirect
Line 15:
*'''Redirect/merge''' per Grutness. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 12:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
*'''Rename/no redirect''' Although the idea of a lisp is a stereotype associated with gay men, there appears to be some evidence of a sociolinguistic phenomenon. Just as it would be wrong to include [[African-American Vernacular English]] under [[African-American stereotyping]], it is likewise incorrect to suggest that any perception (by gays or straights) of social markers in the speech of gay men is merely repair to a stereotype.

*'''Redirect''', do not rename or merge. The difference is there really is such a thing as African-American Vernacular English. To suggest that there is a peculiar style of speech that goes with being gay smacks of agenda-pushing. There is no such peculiar style of speech.
