    I was speaking to my boyfriend and he said that I am very camp and would be spotted as a gay guy from a mile off. Its kinda made me feel weird since I just dress and act the way I want to naturally.

    So I always dress kinda emo, band shirts (like Paramore, New Found Glory, Rise Against, Say Anything etc.) , skinny pants (either red or black) or bondage pants (tartan pants with zips and stuff on them) or sometimes just a nice pair of jeans. I always do my hair (sometimes dyed blue or red), unually have a hoodie out of my flat, I always have shoes like converse, vans etc. on.

    The worst thing is my voice, I heard a recording and my voice is alot higher than in my head , it actually sounds well gay.

    That's alright! Stereotypes are overrated anyways. I know people who's voices fit the gay stereotype who are actually straight. And some people, like me, have voices that fit the stereotype who actually ARE gay.
    I actually am more gay stereotype than I like to admit, so I wouldn't let it bother you. Once you embrace it, it'll become the norm.

    Actually, a lot of straight guys at my school dress similarly to what you describe.

    With a lot of the different subcultures teens have created in this day and age, you can't really assign certain looks to sexuality. :slight_smile:

    Don't worry, it's long been established that everyone who dresses emo is gay, especially when they say they aren't gay! Rule of the playground and all!

    You pretty much described how I dress and sound :lol:. We could be brothers! But seriously, minus the voice part, I don't really think that would make someone look gay. It's sounds more emo to me than gay. I would think that gay people dressed more in bright, seizure-inducing colors or look like they popped out of a J. Crew catalogue, but what do I know, I haven't really seen the world yet.
